7:36Now PlayingPolice deployed around Lützerath on Wednesday and started the eviction of climate protesters in the village.
The energy giant RWE is set to bulldoze the village in western Germany to start opencast brown coal mining operations.
"The evacuation of Lützerath has begun," police wrote on Twitter. "The area is being fenced off. People in the cordoned-off area currently have the opportunity to leave the place without further police measures."
During the evacuation, police said activists had thrown stones and fireworks in their direction.
"Immediately refrain from throwing Molotov cocktails. Behave peacefully and non-violently!" police tweeted.
Police had earlier made a loudspeaker announcement at the site, telling protesters they could leave without repercussions.
