Several people occupied a giant digger at the coal mine of Inden, while hundreds of other protesters joined a protest march near Luetzerath.

The village itself was evacuated by the police in recent days and is sealed off.

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, who traveled to western Germany to participate in weekend demonstrations against the expanded mine, took part in Tuesday's protest near Luetzerath.

Once again, there were a few clashes with the police.

Several activists ran over to the Garzweiler open pit mine.

They stood at the brink of the open pit, which has a sharp break-off edge.

Police said it was dangerous and people were prohibited from staying there.

Thunberg was one of several protesters carried away by police from the mine's edge in the afternoon.

Police and RWE started evicting protesters from Luetzerath on Jan. 11, removing roadblocks, chopping down treehouses and bulldozing buildings.

Activists have cited the symbolic importance of Luetzerath for years, and thousands of people demonstrated Saturday against the razing of the village by RWE for the expansion of the Garzweiler coal mine.
