Hundreds of people are peacefully demonstrating for the preservation of the Dannenroeder forest. For the further construction of the A49, planned in the 1970s, about 85 hectares of forest north of Frankfurt are to be cleared. The particularly controversial Dannenroeder forest is an intact mixed forest with some buildings over 200 years old and rare animals. The area is located in a drinking water area that supplies about 500,000 people.
