Flensburg (dpa / lno) - At the request of the city of Flensburg, the police began to clear the occupied station forest on Sunday.
A police spokesman said that long talks had been held with the occupiers beforehand to persuade them to voluntarily leave the property.
However, a small number of people stayed in the tree houses.
The police will act prudently and carefully so as not to endanger themselves or the people in the tree houses, it said.
The tree occupiers confessed to the anarchist and antifa scene on banners.
They occupied several trees in autumn to demonstrate against clearing for a new hotel and parking garage.

The only exceptions are the reasons given in the ruling. "
