A spokesman for the situation center told the Tagesspiegel on Saturday morning. The RBB first reported about it.

According to the police spokesman, around 4 p.m. around 1,000 people gathered on the forecourt of the Zeiss Planetarium and in the adjacent Ernst Thälmann Park in Prenzlauer Berg and around 300 more in the Rudolf Wilde Park in Schöneberg for graduation celebrations. Residents are said to have complained about persistent noise and littering in the parks.

Celebration at the planetarium escalates – high school graduates throw bottles

The “BZ” reports on the extent of the escalated graduation ceremony at the Zeiss Planetarium. Accordingly, there are said to be “thousands of glass shards from smashed beer bottles (perhaps also vodka etc.)” in Ernst Thälmann Park.

Teach your students that freedom and responsibility are inseparable. Pankows city councilor Manuela Anders-Granitzki (CDU)

The police went to the Zeiss Planetarium on Friday evening and spoke to small groups on the forecourt. High school graduates are said to have thrown bottles in the direction of the emergency services and their emergency vehicles. Personal details of several people were recorded during the eviction. In the Rudolf Wilde Park in Schöneberg, however, the evacuation took place without resistance, said the spokesman.

City councilor clearly: “It has nothing to do with partying anymore”

Pankow’s city councilor Manuela Anders-Granitzki (CDU) was shocked. She has great understanding that students want to celebrate the end of their school days. “What is currently happening in our green spaces no longer has anything to do with celebrations,” she told the “BZ”.

She spoke of a “level of ruthlessness that leaves you speechless” and called on schools and graduating classes to carry out a joint clean-up operation: “Teach your students that freedom and responsibility are inseparable.”

For high school graduates, this was the last official week of school, which many celebrate as a “theme week” with costumes and parties. The written Abitur examinations begin in mid-April. (Tsp)
