Gen Z protests in Germany: water cannons in Cologne, riots in Hamburg and Stuttgart
Published
Recently, young people have held protests in many cities across Germany. In total, demonstrations were registered in 34 German cities. The events therefore did not take place in just one city, but throughout Germany.
In four cities, the organisation "Gen Z regelt" was responsible for supervising the demonstrations. These included Berlin, Cologne, Frankfurt and Munich. The demonstrations in these cities were therefore accompanied by this group.
Not everywhere did the protests remain peaceful. In Cologne, the police deployed water cannons. In Hamburg and Stuttgart, there were riots. More detailed information on injuries, arrests or damage is not available in the current reports.
The background to the protests and the demands of the participants are not described in more detail in the reports so far. It remains to be seen what consequences the events will have and whether further demonstrations will take place in the coming days.
