Meetings in downtown Kassel proceeded without disruption

Since a significantly higher number of assembly participants had been assumed based on previous estimates, the North Hesse Police Headquarters had prepared accordingly for the deployment. At the planned start at 1:00 pm, thousands of people gathered at Friedrichsplatz, who set off on the registered march route around 2:00 pm. This temporarily led to disruptions in road traffic, which, however, could be kept as low as possible by the traffic forces of the police deployed. The march returned to Friedrichsplatz around 3:00 pm, where a closing rally took place. This ended around 3:30 pm. The assembly with a peak of about 7,000 participants was overall peaceful and without disturbances.

In addition, various parties had registered election and information stands with the city of Kassel for today, which were set up on Opernplatz and Friedrichsplatz opposite the Königsgalerie. These and other previously announced gatherings for today, Saturday, under the mottos "Affordable Rents" and "Peace for Gaza-Punish Genocidaires" in the Upper Königsstraße in front of the town hall with about 50 participants each, and under the motto "Merci- Stop Private Jets" at Friedrichsplatz with 15 participants, also went off without a hitch.
