In the end everything goes very quickly.
On Saalburgstraße, around the corner from the Bornheim Mitte subway station, the demonstrators change their clothes: the black uniform of the autonomous scene is exchanged for colorful sweaters and jackets.
The black masks, gloves and rain jackets go into the backpacks, the red flags, some with hammer and sickle, disappear.
This is how they want to protect themselves from a possible police check.
While the final rally is still underway, they are drawn to the subway or they walk down Berger Strasse.

The riots feared by some during the "Revolutionary May Day" did not materialize on Sunday evening.
Around 1,000 demonstrators from the left-wing extremist scene ran from Willy-Brandt-Platz through downtown Frankfurt to Bornheim, yelling slogans loudly.
Pyrotechnics were ignited again and again - although forbidden: red, black and turquoise smoke spread out in the streets, firecrackers made a lot of noise.
The police then repeatedly asked the demonstrators to stop igniting pyrotechnics and started filming the elevator in order to be able to identify the perpetrators afterwards.
But she didn't stop the demonstration.
There were said to have been calls on the Internet in advance to attack police officers from the rally.
The police reported that.
But that will not happen until the end of the autonomous May demo on Sunday evening.
Although the mood is heated and angry, the demonstrators remain peaceful.
