Ludwigshafen – Operational measures after calls for so-called “Monday walks”

Ludwigshafen / Bad Dürkheim / Speyer / Frankenthal / Landau / Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region. Various platforms called for a public meeting this Monday evening (December 20th, 2021) to take a stand against the Corona measures to put. Meetings were not registered. The cities of Frankenthal, Landau, Neustadt, Speyer and the districts of Bad Dürkheim, Germersheim and Südliche Weinstraße had previously issued general decrees banning the meetings known as “Monday walks”.

According to our prepared operational concepts, we were present at relevant locations with strong police forces. We found several small groups who had nevertheless followed the call. A total of around 900 people could be identified as so-called “walkers”. When spoken to and informed about the ban on assembly, most of the people left again.

The people were distributed among the following locations:

Annweiler: 30 people

Bad Bergzabern: 80 people

Bad Dürkheim: 30 people

Dannstadt-Schauernheim: 20 people

Deidesheim: 20 people

Frankenthal: 5 people

Freinsheim: 40 people

Germersheim: 150 people

Green town: 25 people
