Violence drama in front of Berlin's scandal school: Students escape in Edeka!

The Friedrich-Bergius School in the Friedenau district in Berlin has once again become the scene of brutal violence. On Wednesday, a seventh grader was followed by a group of young people with knives, baseball rackets and Schlagringen. The reason for this escalation was a dispute over a student who was jostled by a classmate, the situation quickly got out of control. The attackers scream threats like "We stop you!" While the student fled for his life and ultimately fled to a nearby Edeka supermarket, where he received help, BZ Berlin and Bild.de reported.

The police had to move with a large contingent because a pack of up to 120 people besieged the area in front of the school. Several eyewitnesses described the chaotic atmosphere, while the postman Alex Mootz said: "I almost didn't get through the car because there were so many people". In the middle of these alarming events, particularly concerned parents became active; Many left their children at home the next day, for fear of further incidents.

reaction of the authorities and security measures

As a direct measure, the school management informed that the police will temporarily show presence in front of the school, especially at the start of school. In addition, a guard service was installed in the supermarket to increase security. Education Senator Katharina Günther-Lüsch expressed concerns about the current situation and offered to provide guard protection, but this was rejected. "The school does not need guard protection, it needs a gatekeeper", criticized parent spokesman Andreas Thewalt, and emphasized that the problems took place especially in the school area.

The incidents in Friedenau are not new. Already in November the college had written a fire letter in which they pointed out the threatening willingness to violence the students. Despite these notes, an effective intervention by the authorities has so far failed to materialize. The continued uncertainty among parents is reinforced by the large number of witness reports that speak of an uncontrolled situation.
