Overview

• Berlin’s higher administrative court ruled a cleared pro‑Palestine encampment near the Chancellery is a protected assembly, enabling demonstrators to re‑establish their tents in the Skulpturenpark.
• Organizers and police confirmed the Berlin camp was rebuilt after the ruling, which upheld earlier decisions limiting attempts to relocate the protest over noise concerns.
• In North Rhine‑Westphalia, the OVG Münster overturned Cologne police’s prohibition of the planned “Rheinmetall entwaffnen” camp, finding the ban violated freedom of assembly and posed no demonstrated danger.
• Frankfurt police recorded criminal complaints after a camp participant doused three Jewish activists with red paint near the Grüneburgpark site and said they would increase their presence in the area.
• The Jewish community in Frankfurt criticized events at the camp for spreading hate against Israel, while organizers cited red lines against legitimizing Hamas’s October 7 attack and reported separate harassment incidents against participants.
