In Heidelberg “mulled wine happenings” got so out of hand that the police had to move in with all available emergency services.

While up to 20 people stood together in small groups at points of sale in the old town and in the Roman district, drank the mulled wine they had bought immediately and in some cases violated the distance rules, all the dams in the center of Rohrbach broke.

Up to 200 people were counted just before 5 p.m.

On the occasion of the “mulled wine walk” carried out by four restaurants, they consumed the drinks and food they had bought on the street.

Instead of a walk, the mulled wine drinkers stood crowded together.

The distance rules were not adhered to, and in almost all cases no mouth and nose protection was worn.

The police said that eleven patrols with 22 officers were necessary to resolve the situation in the center of Rohrbach.

The identities of around 70 people could be determined.

Fine proceedings are initiated against them.

It is now being clarified whether those responsible for the restaurants who aggressively advertised the “mulled wine walk” in advance will also face a fine.
