Similar demonstrations of the movement were also planned in the capitals of all other federal states.

A dozen counter-demonstrators shouted "We'll vaccinate you all".
The Association for the Preservation of Rural Living Space eV moved in the afternoon with two car parades from the Olympia-Station and from Pankow in the direction of Alexanderplatz.
A total of 900 participants were registered - according to the police, however, only a few hundred were on the road.
Here, too, protests were made against the corona restrictions and for freedom of the media.
With the motto “Masks down, no more lockdown”, a rally then started on Alexanderplatz, which the association had also registered.
According to the dpa reporter's observations, fewer than 300 people gathered there late in the afternoon - the police came to a similar size.
According to a police spokeswoman, the demonstrations in the afternoon were initially peaceful.
