Overview
- Berlin police said up to about 1,000 people marched in Friedrichshain with roughly 500 officers deployed to monitor the event.
- Authorities reported eight injured officers and at least 18 arrests, with some outlets later citing 25; alleged offenses include breach of the peace, explosives violations and use of banned symbols, and officers seized pyrotechnics, spray paint and a rescue hammer.
- The march, which began near Helsingforser Platz, was repeatedly halted over thrown bottles, fireworks and prohibited slogans before being dissolved at around 22:30, with some masked participants eluding identification.
- In Leipzig, officers encircled roughly 50 to 80 participants after a pro‑Palestine rally for identity checks, then released them on a judge’s order as investigations into potentially prohibited slogans continue.
- In Schwarzenberg, about 300 participants and a sizable counterprotest led to 18 criminal reports as the traditional Bergparade proceeded undisturbed, while in Hamburg a roughly 500‑person march started late over a contentious banner but saw no further incidents.
