In one terminal at Dortmund Airport, activists poured black-coloured paste on the floor and held up posters with the words "Oil kills," the group said.
At Stuttgart Airport, meanwhile, 14 activists demonstrated with posters, banners, flyers and speeches, according to the police.
At Sylt Airport, one of the activists sat on the wing of a parked private jet, police in Harrislee near Flensburg said.

However, the police were able to prevent the person from glueing themselves to the wing.
In total, three members of the Last Generation group managed to enter the airport by cutting through the fence with bolt cutters.
All three were provisionally arrested with criminal charges filed for, among other things, property damage and dangerous interference with air traffic.
Speaking about their protest at Dortmund Airport, the activists said that flights were still being offered from there to Munich, explaining that these were "unnecessary domestic flights" that were "particularly harmful".

And regarding their protest at Sylt Airport, the group said it was "absurd" that flights were taking off from Sylt to DĂĽsseldorf, Munich or Frankfurt every day.
"Airplanes burn oil and gas: fossil fuels that pose a massive threat to our existence."
In recent weeks, climate activists from the Last Generation temporarily paralysed flight operations at Germany's largest airport in Frankfurt am Main, at Cologne/Bonn Airport, and temporarily blocked cargo operations at Leipzig/Halle Airport.
On Thursday, the organisation said that eight apartments belonging to its activists were searched. It said it would expand its protest despite the "massive attempt at intimidation by the authorities."
