In August 2016 members of the Identitarian movement in Germany scaled the iconic Brandenburg Gate in Berlin and hung a banner in protest at European immigration and perceived Islamisation. In September of the same year, members of the Identitarian movement erected a new summit cross in a "provocative" act (as the "Süddeutsche Zeitung" reported) on the Schafreuter, after the original one had to be removed because of damage by an unknown person.
