Germany\u2019s\u00a0Junge Freiheit reports<\/a>\u00a0that the Hamburg Regional Court (Landgericht Hamburg) ruled in November 2025 that ten climate activists from the group \u201cLast Generation\u201d must pay a total of approximately \u20ac400,000 in damages to an airline.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

The activists were involved in a sit-in blockade of Hamburg Airport in July 2023. The climate activists cut through the fence and glued themselves to the tarmac. This action led to the cancellation of 45 flights and affected 8,500 passengers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The affected airline, reportedly primarily Eurowings (part of the Lufthansa Group), sued the activists for compensation. The court awarded the airline damages of approximately \u20ac400,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some reports mention that, in addition to the damages, the activists could also face legal costs amounting to approximately \u20ac700,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the activists fail to pay the sum, they face up to two years of Ordnungshaft<\/em> (civil detention).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is one of the highest civil damage claims made against members of the \u201cLast Generation\u201d following a protest action in Germany so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
