In many places, people were injured during farmers' protests.
This was the result of a SPIEGEL survey of the interior ministries of the federal states.
In Brandenburg, five people were injured in an undeclared action last Monday.
Farmers had distributed manure, manure and wood on a federal road during the night.
In Rhineland-Palatinate there were a total of 14 traffic accidents in connection with the farmers' protests.
There are 43 criminal investigations pending in Saxony-Anhalt, and 15 meetings were not registered.
In Hesse, the police reported two traffic accidents in the area of protests.
“Unfortunately, one of these accidents took a serious turn,” said a spokesman for the Interior Ministry.
On January 10, a truck driver missed the end of a traffic jam caused by a permitted gathering and crashed into a stationary tractor-trailer.
He died at the scene of the accident and the driver of the tractor-trailer was also seriously injured.
According to the Interior Ministry, protesting farmers in Schleswig-Holstein obstructed an ambulance and an emergency medical vehicle on January 9th.
In Bremen, the police filed 11 criminal charges in 15 protests.
According to a spokesman for the Interior Ministry, the events in Saxony went largely smoothly, although there were several reports of accidents in the media.
The other federal states did not provide any information or pointed out that such information was not collected statistically.
