The Vulkangruppe, Vulkan Group, or Volcano Group as it is sometimes rendered in English language sources, is a far-left extremist group based in Germany responsible for sabotage and destruction of energy, railway, and data infrastructure as well as attacks against Tesla, Inc. manufacturing confined to the Berlin region. Vulkangruppe has been associated with far-left, anti-fascist, and anarchist ideology. Those involved with the group occasionally use the names of Icelandic volcanoes as aliases following actions. The group has committed 11 arson attacks since at least 2011.
==Structure and aims== Even though the group or groups have been associated with 11 attacks in the Berlin area since 2011, and in spite of a strategy paper from 2015 suggesting a concrete structure, the German police and Bundesverfassungsschutz (the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution) officially do not know how the group is organised.
