Police Open Investigations After Nuremberg Protests That Left One Officer Injured

A small rally met larger counterprotests, prompting limited police force to keep routes open.

Overview

  • About 70 people gathered from 1:45 p.m. at Willy-Prölß-Platz for the “Gemeinsam für Deutschland” rally.
  • Four counterprotests with roughly 350 participants formed nearby, including sit-in blockades along the route.
  • Police used limited force to prevent complete obstruction, and the march bypassed the sit-ins at several points.
  • Officers opened cases against four suspects on allegations of assault and resisting law enforcement, and one officer was injured during a resistance incident at Färberstraße/Jakobstraße and is currently unfit for duty.
  • Further investigations address masking offenses under assembly law, sticker-related property damage in the city center, and one bodily injury case between participants, with operations concluding at 5 p.m. involving multiple specialized units.
