in Stuttgart-Mitte, a significant police operation occurred on Monday, October 7, 2024, to monitor several rallies. The central event was a pro-Palestinian assembly that took place under the motto "against the ongoing war in Gaza and for solidarity with Palestine" at the Herzog-Christoph monument.

At around 5:10 p.m., the emergency services discovered a hooded person who was arrested shortly afterwards during this meeting.

The subsequent elevator, which started at 6:00 p.m. and counted around 200 participants, led from the Schlossplatz via Bolz- and Theodor-Heuss-Straße to Rotebühlplatz. During the elevator, a 62-year-old participant showed a poster with an insulting inscription; The police forces also reacted here and secured the poster and personal details of the man for an advertisement.

A pro-Israeli demonstration took place on the market square in parallel to the pro-Palestinian assembly.
