Dusseldorf - The Old Town at the weekend resembled a fortress. Once EXPRESS revealed that Düsseldorf police fear the rioters on the fear a mile, increased police chief Herbert Schenkelberg the banns.
The monitoring of the strip by EXPRESS, however, made clear: Appearances can be deceptive, the old city remains a powder keg.
The facts of the weekend: It was again the "normal madness". On the road Bolkerstrasse and Andrew ran around aggressive, violent, blind drunk young men who accosted, instigated a quarrel, to acts of resistance and fighting. A man was beaten Saturday night in front of the "Auberge".
On the short road on the night of Saturday were three policemen wounded by attackers. Strength of a hundred came to the rescue. From Friday to Sunday 22 recalcitrant persons were taken into custody. There was a "preventive" police raid in a disco, whose audiences are sometimes considered as "problematic". 15 guests were taken.
In between, lay in "the public urinal depraved old," said a visitor (it's everywhere stank!), Between the mountains of garbage, bottles and broken glass around alcohol victims.
One was so inebriated that an ambulance had to come. Other Besinnunglose were provided by the police back on its feet. Unblehrbare sendings-off were given.
Between midnight and three clock in the morning it came on the night of Sunday to several incidents, but not expand without thanks to the now better prepared and more police. As agreed with the mix between older and younger officers.
The central points Bolkerstern, Bolkerstrasse, Andrew Street, Short Street and Castle Square were visible deterrent, and by the police "occupied". These civilian squads patrolling around, dog handlers and hundreds were in readiness.
In between forces of the stewards (OSD), but made completely incomprehensible, by 1 clock closing time. An OSD-man for EXPRESS: "We also have sleeve, occur only in groups. Our management knows that sends us almost defenseless in the fire. We need clothing. "
Lore chamber (35) from Unna: "I wanted to have fun here, but what's going on here, is not worth the trip. That's civil war. "Matthias Lenzen (33), with women from Kleve," If I'd known this, we would prefer the Moselle. One is afraid to go through here. "A Dusseldorf (55):" Again? No thanks! Before the policemen who work here, I have great respect. That's dirty work. "
