28 arrests in Rosenheim: Violence at demo Resistance now!

Rosenheim, Deutschland - On July 19, 2025, a demonstration in Rosenheim occurred under the motto "Resistance now - never again war!". The event moved about 200 participants to the city center, where it initially went peacefully. However, the situation took a turn when a group of about 30 black -clad and sometimes hooded people tried to violently break a police chain. The police reacted and arrested a total of 28 people who could mainly be assigned to the left-wing scene, as Zeit reported.

The criminal police took up investigations into a breach of the peace, assault and an assault on enforcement officers. Violations of the meeting law are also part of the investigations. The police had properly registered the demonstration and entered to separate two groups during the action that did not adhere to the agreed processes. The final rally took place around 6:00 p.m.

connection with previous riots

In the context of incidents in Rosenheim, it is interesting to look at similar developments in other federal states. After the events of a demonstration on May 1st in Gera, objects were searched in several federal states, including Thuringia and Saxony. In these missions, the police ensured possible evidence, with mobile phone devices and data carriers in particular being secured. The public prosecutor's office raised the accusation of the fracture of the peace, and here too there were violent clashes after demonstrating attempts to break through a police chain, such as [Tagesspiegel reported] (https://www.tagesspiegel.de/sgesellschaft/panorama/razzia- against-linke-nach-1-mai-dolizei-spruchs-bjekt-in- Mehreren-bundeslanden-10749433.html).

Such events raise questions about the handling of demonstrations by the police, especially after extensive riots, such as on June 26, 2021 in Düsseldorf, where numerous demonstrators and a journalist were injured. Due to these repeated incidents, the left has convicted the police force and also criticizes the restrictive measures of the planned meeting law in North Rhine-Westphalia, which in its view violates the freedom-democratic principles. Such a design stipulates that applicants from meetings have to advertise their events with real names, which is considered to be dangerous to health. In addition, a ban on military dance is placed in the room that specifically meets anti -fascist groups and climate activists, such as [Die Linke displays] (https://www.dielinke.de/parteidei/parteidiobarkt/partei bosses-2021-2022/detail/die-linke-diewalt-und-lehnt-und-gasmlungsgesetz-nrw- defines-ab/).

Developments in Rosenheim and the other places show that the topic of demonstrations and the handling of the police with protests will probably not be completed. The questions about freedom of assembly and the protection of civil rights are still in the room and demand for intensive debate and education.
