For months, Rheinmetall has been converting the former Pierburg factory near Humboldthain, which previously produced car parts, to armaments production.
As Rheinmetall announced, serial production of warheads for so-called “loitering ammunition” – also known as kamikaze drones – is already underway at the Berlin site. From 2027 onwards, around 120,000 bullet casings for 155-millimeter artillery ammunition will be produced annually at the Wedding plant. These steel jackets weigh 42 kilograms and are 80 centimeters long. When detonated, the steel body shatters into 13,000 deadly fragments.
What does this give us? War and untold suffering. What does it bring to Rheinmetall? Immeasurable profit! Rheinmetall's weapons kill all over the world: in Palestine, in Kurdistan, in Yemen. While the company's profits grow, workers in the defense and automotive industries are experiencing pressure, restructuring and uncertainty.
Armament has never saved us from wars and their miserable consequences - quite the opposite. Wars benefit the rich, we provide the corpses. If we want peace, we must overcome capitalism and build a world of solidarity.
The group Peacefully against Genocide is once again calling for a week of action against Rheinmetall in Wedding from November 15th to 22nd. Let's join in!
Come to the demonstration against Rheinmetall's weapons production in Berlin on Wednesday, November 18th at 6 p.m.! Together we walk to the nearby factory gate.
Don't fight your wars on our backs! Rheinmetall out of Berlin!
