The Power failure in the southwest Berlin apparently goes to that left-wing extremist volcano group back. This emerges from a letter of responsibility from the group, which authorities consider to be credible. In it, the group describes the sabotage as an attack on the fossil energy industry and the “imperial way of life” of wealthy societies. Several loosely organized groups have probably been organizing themselves under this name since 2011 Attacks in the Berlin-Brandenburg region. Most recently, the group sabotaged the power supply to the Tesla factory in Grünheide in 2024. Around 45,000 households were affected by the power outage in southwest Berlin on Saturday and had neither electricity nor heating in wintry temperatures. Around 25,500 households were still affected on Tuesday. ZEIT editors know where the volcano group stands ideologically Philip Johann Moser.
