The Easter weekend threatens to get restless in Stuttgart due to several demonstrations against the Corona requirements and planned counter-protests.
According to the city, at least four demonstrations against the pandemic restrictions are planned on Saturday alone, including a rally of the so-called lateral thinking movement in the afternoon on the Cannstatter Wasen.
The organizers are expecting around 2500 participants for this protest.
However, estimates currently assume that there could be significantly more.
According to a police spokesman on Thursday, counter-demonstrators are also expected.
According to the police, there are several hundreds of police officers on duty.
The Stuttgart police are supported by the riot police, the police and the criminal police as well as by communication teams and police officers.
Last summer, up to 10,000 people demonstrated on the Wasen.

The "lateral thinking" movement and its comrades-in-arms speak out against the current Corona measures.
The movement is being observed by the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution in Baden-Württemberg.
The State Office assigns several key players in the “lateral thinking” movement to the milieu of “Reich citizens” and “self-administrators” who deny the existence of the Federal Republic and negate democratic and constitutional structures.
The "lateral thinking" movement rejects these allegations.
