Essen cooks over: Protests to the Middle East conflict end with injuries!
On Monday, October 7th, two meetings took place in Essen, which dealt with the Middle East conflict. These events attracted the attention of the police, which provided the safety of the participants and residents. Despite some tensions, a predominantly peaceful course could be guaranteed. In the event of an incident, however, a police officer was slightly injured when he was attacked by a participant.
At the beginning of the evening, the participants gathered in downtown Essen, where an elevator was held by the city center. A total of around 100 people were present. During this meeting, several suspicious posters, which were presented by the participants, ensured several suspicious posters. After a legal examination by the criminal police and the Essen public prosecutor, it turned out that the content of the posters did not violate applicable law. Therefore, the posters were returned after the exam and the meeting could be ended at around 8:35 p.m. without disturbances.

At the same time, a second meeting took place in Altendorf, in which up to 180 people took part. After the participants moved through Frohnhausen, they blocked the intersection of Altendorfer Straße and Oberdorfstrasse. Despite repeated requests from the emergency services to clear the intersection area, the group initially held up in their place. In the middle of the meeting there was an incident of assault that caused the police to intervene.
A disturbant attacked the intervening officers with a flagpole. This attack caused a police officer to be injured on the head. The attacker was ultimately arrested after the meeting was terminated. In a further incident, the police filed a criminal complaint against a participant who made a statement during her speech, which raised the initial suspicion of a crime, specifically the approval of crimes. These incidents show that despite the mostly peaceful character of the meetings, certain tensions and conflicts could not be completely avoided.
Overall, these events reflect the current location and the various opinions on the Middle East conflict. The police were well prepared and was able to prevent further escalations through their presence and intervention.
