With chalk paint they paint huge capital letters reading "Autobahn" (highway) with the first part „Auto“ (car) of the word crossed out thus leaving the word „Bahn“, meaning 'train'. With this word game the activists call on the German government to invest in alternatives such as the railways to protect the climate. For the further expansion of the controversial 'A49' freeway thousands of hectares of the nearby Dannenröder forest, an intact mixed forest with some trees over 200 years old are to be cleared. Moreover the new section is located in a drinking water reservoir area. Includes statement by Benjamin Stephan, Greenpeace Germany expert (in German).In original language:Protest auf der A49 am Dannenröder Wald in Hessen - News AccessAuf der A49 demonstrieren sechs Aktivistinnen und Aktivisten von Greenpeace für eine klimaschonende Verkehrsplanung. Mit Kreidefarbe malen sie in Großbuchstaben das Wort „Autobahn“ auf einen noch nicht freigegebenem Abschnitt, wobei der erste Teil des Wortes, „Auto“ durchgestrichen ist. Mit diesem Wortspiel verleihen die Aktivisten ihrer Forderung an die Bundesregierung Ausdruck, konsequent in Alternativen wie die Bahn zu investieren. Für den Ausbau der umstrittenen A49 in Hessen müssen Zehntausende Hektar des Dannenröder Waldes ("Danni") abgeholzt werden. Der Dannenröder Wald ist ein intakter Mischwald mit teils bis zu 200 Jahre alten Bäumen. Außerdem führt die Autobahn durch ein Trinkwasserschutzgebiet.
