Overview

• A Letzte Generation activist faced trial on May 13, 2025, for gluing himself to a painting's frame at the Städel Museum in Frankfurt in August 2022.
• The protest targeted the German government's climate policies, which the group deems insufficient in addressing the climate crisis.
• The Frankfurt Amtsgericht conditionally dismissed the case after the activist paid €600, reducing the initial potential fine of €1,200.
• The Städel Museum has filed a separate civil lawsuit seeking approximately €8,000 in damages for the frame's repair.
• Similar cases involving Letzte Generation activists have been resolved with monetary payments, reflecting a consistent judicial approach to their protests.
