Nazis in the neighborhood: Hundreds of right -wing extremist planning demo in Friedrichshain!

Berlin-Friedrichshain, Deutschland - On March 22, 2025, hundreds of right-wing extremists march in Berlin-Friedrichshain. The demonstration begins at 1 p.m. at the Ostkreuz and is organized by Ferhat Sentürk, an AfD communal politician from Aachen. The event is under the motto "for law and order. Against left -wing extremism and politically motivated violence" and mobilizes various right -wing extremist groups, including the "bourgeois alliance for Germany" as well as the youth organizations "German youth" (DJV) and the "Kampfbrigade Berlin".

At the opening rally on the Ostkreuz, the singer of the right-wing extremist hooligan band "Category C" has been announced. In the past, this band had been struggling with police forbidden several times. A spokesman for the Berlin police explain that music performances are permitted at meetings as long as the expression of expression predominates. So far, statements or actions relevant to criminal law have been expected.

planned route and counter -demonstrations

The planned route extends over more than seven kilometers through the district, including part of Rigaer Straße, where neo -Nazis are not allowed to pass the house projects there. The police describe Sentürk as "very cooperative" and is optimistic about a peaceful course of the demonstration.

parallel to the right -wing extremist demonstration, numerous counter -demonstrations are registered. These protests include, for example, the rally "Ostkreuz remains colorful! No space for Nazis!" From 12 noon and the "Friedrichshain remains anti -fascist", which takes place at the same time in the Oberen Kynastraße. Other mobilizations, such as "Singing in many ways - cutting off the word to the right and loudly," is planned for 1 p.m. at Frankfurter Allee.

context and wider protest movement

Protests against right -wing extremism have increased in Germany since the beginning of 2025 and are to be seen as a continuation of the arguments from the previous year. Similar actions that are directed against the AfD and their close cooperation with other right -wing extremists take place in many cities. The AfD is classified as a right -wing extremist by some constitutional protection offices and political scientists and perceived by the demonstrators as a danger to democracy.

The climate of the protests is also fueled by political developments, such as the migration-political applications by the CDU Chancellor candidate Friedrich Merz. Critics argue that mobilization against right -wing extremism must remain in the long term and that the movement should be implemented in political practice in order to stop the right rate.

In view of the upcoming demonstration, the participants are advised not to travel alone and plan detours. The course of the day promises new tensions and confrontations between the various camps in the capital.

In addition, it can be expected that the police will be represented with a high contingent to ensure a smooth process, and to protect the population from both right -wing extremists and from possible violent arguments.

Reporting on this incident will also be in the context of the latest protests against right -wing extremism, which mobilized tens of thousands of participants nationwide in order to set a strong sign of democracy and diversity. These protests are not only an expression of the resistance, but also an appeal to society to remain attentive and to stand up against extremism.

Tagesspiegel reports that the police are expecting a peaceful demonstration, while Berlin against Nazis provides comprehensive information on the planned opposite studies. Further details on the protest movement can be read in the results at Wikipedia
