Grilling on May 1st in Görlitzer Park prohibited - security is going on!

Görlitzer Park, Berlin, Deutschland - On May 1, 2025, grilling will be strictly forbidden in Görlitzer Park. This ban extends across the entire park, including the grill meadow, such as Tagesspiegel reported. The Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district office urges visitors to avoid grilling that day. The decision was made to ensure both the protection of the green areas and the guarantee of security and order during the celebrations.

In addition to the barbecue ban, not approved celebrations, parties and other events in the park are prohibited on the holiday. Parking management will be increasingly on site to check the compliance with these rules and to punish violations accordingly, as explained in a press release from the district office ( berlin.de ).

Security and order in focus

The authorities emphasize that the ban on grill and the other restrictions are particularly important, since Görlitzer Park has become conspicuous in recent years through drug trafficking and violent crime. This is also the background for the planned installation of a fence that should enable the park at night ( Tag24 ).

Despite the ban on grill, people are invited to take part in the registered rally "Rave Against the Zaun". This takes place on May 1st from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. During the event there will be music and speeches that are directed against the planned fencing of the park. The protest is supported by several initiatives and the district. At the end of the event, numerous bands and DJs will appear until 10 p.m.

The district office asks the citizens for understanding and respecting the bereau of grill to protect the park and ensure that the holiday runs smoothly. Particular attention is paid to compliance with these measures in order to improve both security and quality of life in Görlitzer Park.
