After protests by opponents of the Leipzig / Halle airport expansion, all activists were released from police custody.
Since the demonstrators had revealed their identity to the investigating judge by Sunday at the latest, no pre-trial detention had been issued, said a spokesman for the Leipzig public prosecutor's office on Monday.
It will be determined because of coercion.
54 activists blocked the access to the DHL logistics center on Saturday night. Several trucks jammed in front of the entrance and had to be diverted through a second gate. According to the police, DHL filed a complaint because the blockade caused some machines to take off with a delay and damage amounting to millions. Accordingly, among the stopped vehicles were trucks loaded with vaccines and pilots who wanted to take taxis to their cargo planes. Overall, however, the protests were peaceful.
Leipzig / Halle Airport is to be expanded considerably.
Among other things, DHL is planning to expand the logistics hub from 60 to 100 parking spaces.
That would lead to significantly more take-offs and landings, especially at night.
The airport is now the second largest cargo airport in Germany after Frankfurt / Main.
Above all, the expected increase in night flights has met with criticism.
Leipzig's Lord Mayor Burkhard Jung (SPD) supports the expansion, but with conditions.
Several parties in the Magdeburg state parliament have also called for more noise protection for the residents of the airport.
Saxony-Anhalt holds a good 18 percent stake in Mitteldeutsche Flughafen AG, which includes Leipzig / Halle Airport and the regional airport in Dresden.
The main owner is Saxony.
