Conflicts between the station and Ludgerikreisel
In the upcoming weekend, right-wing extremists from Dortmund are set to hold a demonstration, with the event expected to take place on Saturday. The demonstration, which is reportedly in support of a known figure in the German far-right scene, "SS-Siggi," has sparked significant counter-protests in the nearby city of Münster.
The demonstration in Dortmund is expected to occur between the city's main station and the Ludgerikreisel, according to police information. However, the exact details of the counter-demonstrations in Münster are not yet clear. The alliance "No Meter for Nazis Münster" has reported a successful prevention of the Nazis appealing to the OVG (Higher Administrative Court Münster) due to protests, but no specific information about the prevention of the Dortmunders' demonstration in front of the OVG has been mentioned.
The background for the counter-demonstrations is a planned march by right-wing extremists from Dortmund, who wish to achieve an inscription on a grave plate for "SS-Siggi." Dortmund has refused this request due to fears of establishing a Nazi pilgrimage site.
The city of Münster has announced that bus diversions will be necessary in the city centre from 10 pm to 10 pm due to the demonstrations and counter-demonstrations. Parking restrictions have also been set up for the various events. The police have warned of significant traffic disruptions due to several assemblies between the main station and Ludgeriplatz.
It is worth noting that Dortmund has been a hotspot for right-wing extremist activity in recent years. Such marches typically provoke significant counter-demonstrations, especially in nearby cities like Münster, which are known for active civil society groups opposing far-right extremism.
For the latest specific details on the status, dates, or outcome of the planned march and counter-demonstrations, it is recommended to monitor local news outlets or official municipal announcements from Dortmund and Münster.
