Several thousand opponents of the corona measures have taken to the streets again in Germany.
One of the largest events took place on Saturday afternoon in Hamburg, where the police spoke of around 16,000 participants.
To the demo under the motto “The measure is full.
Hands off our children ”, around 11,000 participants were originally expected.
There were also larger demonstrations in Magdeburg, Freiburg and Schwerin.
In Hamburg, the organizer asked the participants over loudspeakers to comply with the mask and distance requirements.
Nevertheless, many people were traveling without masks and without any distance.
A demo participant wore a Star of David with the words "unvaccinated" on their clothes, the police tweeted.
A preliminary investigation had been initiated on suspicion of sedition.
Dozens of people demonstrated against the Corona measures in a car and bicycle parade in Berlin.
The mood is peaceful, said a police spokesman on Saturday afternoon.
The police counted more than 70 cars, 100 bikes and a total of about 200 participants.
Protest in Minden against "lateral thinkers"
In Minden in East Westphalia, however, around 2500 people took to the streets to demonstrate against “lateral thinkers”. They expressed their displeasure with corona deniers, vaccination skeptics and right-wing extremists. "Yes to freedom of expression and togetherness - decidedly no to hatred, threats and violence," it said on a poster.
In Zwönitz, Saxony, police officers were attacked with pyrotechnics on Friday evening during protests against corona measures. As the police headquarters in Chemnitz announced on Saturday, troublemakers had ignited a smoke pot and a hand torch and threw them in the direction of the emergency services. The attackers were able to be pushed back, whereupon the group dispersed. The police secured the pyrotechnics and initiated an investigation.
