- Abstract
Germany is internationally known for the environmental movement of the 70s and the leadership it exercises in the development of actions and measures for the protection of nature. Despite these efforts, today, it is still the most important lignite producer in the world, also known as brown coal. In a place near the city of Cologne, there is the largest open pit brown coal mine in Europe called Hambach. In order to expand its territory, the energy company RWE, owner of the mine, wants to deforest the Hambach Forest completely, a 12,000-year-old forest that is located next to the mine. Since 2012, different people are resisting against the deforestation and RWE. During the course of time, a movement was built under the motto Hambi bleibt!2. This article wants to answer the question, to what extent it is a non-violent resistance. Therefore, qualitative interviews were conducted with nine people who are part of the resistance processes and audiovisual articles and materials were also analyzed. The key result is that most people act with non-violent methods and that the self-image is clearly that the self-image differs clearly from external attribution from external attribution. The article expands the Research for Peace regarding current socioenvironmental conflicts.
