Berlin (dpa / bb) - An illegal party of more than 300 people in a former hospital in Berlin-Buch has been broken up by the police.

Someone had informed the officials on Sunday morning that several people had climbed the fence to the site, the police said.

When the officials arrived, despite the corona pandemic, there was a party in the basement of the former hospital on Hobrechtsfelder Chaussee with loud music.

The emergency services requested reinforcements, it said.

Before this happened, about 150 celebrants had left the party.

The identity of a further 157 participants was established.

Reports were made against them for violations of the protection against infection and exit restrictions, but also for trespassing.
