Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - Some people demonstrated against the corona policy on New Year's Eve in Stuttgart and violated the requirements.
A meeting on Karlsplatz was dissolved because some 100 participants did not keep the minimum distances and ignored the requirement to wear masks, as a police spokeswoman said.
The resolution caused "loud displeasure", and a spontaneous meeting with around 100 participants formed as a reaction.
This was also resolved at Charlottenplatz in consultation with the city of Stuttgart when many participants refused to wear mouth and nose protection.
In the evening, the officials checked participants who stated that they were exempt from wearing a mask with a medical certificate.
Otherwise, there were initially no major incidents, said the spokeswoman.
Various organizers had registered several actions with 50 to 100 participants each in the city center.
Among other things, it should be about “a New Year's Eve without Corona measures” and “the dying gastronomy”.
The city had allowed the demos because the Corona ordinance of the state of Baden-Württemberg expressly names such gatherings as a so-called valid reason for which an exception to the nightly exit restriction may be made.

In addition to a gathering with around 100 participants at Wilhelmsplatz, around 150 people demonstrated against the corona measures in the palace garden, according to police.
Another demonstration is expected on Karlsplatz late in the evening.
