Hanover (dpa) - Strong police forces from Lower Saxony sealed off the home of Prime Minister Stephan Weil (SPD) against expected demonstrators of the so-called lateral thinker scene on Sunday.
According to reports from eyewitnesses, the access roads in the residential area in Hanover were closed in the evening.
A police spokesman said that only a few alleged demonstrators appeared who had been sent away.
For tactical reasons, he did not provide any information on the strength of the police presence.
With the rally at Weil's residence, critics wanted to protest against the corona measures.
The assembly authorities forbade the march at this location.
The organizers are only concerned with creating a threatening backdrop, intimidating the head of government in private and thus influencing the state government's corona policy, the police said.
She warned that participation in the forbidden gathering would be punished consistently.
A group of around 30 protested against the corona measures on a Sunday in front of the private property of the Saxon Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer at the beginning of January.
According to the police, the CDU politician spoke to those who had come at the garden fence.
The debate ended after about 15 minutes.
