On the night of Friday, the “Father’s Day” parties in the Volkspark Friedrichshain escalated – there was also violence. The day after, one thing was left behind in particular: a lot of rubbish.
At the celebrations of numerous young people and young adults, there were repeated arguments among the revelers. Residents also complained that the music was way too loud.
The police finally cleared the area. Bottles were also thrown at the emergency services. It was finally quiet around 11:30 p.m.

There are shards and broken bottles everywhere. “You really shouldn’t go into these meadows with children,” she writes: “If they fall down there, you can go straight to the hospital around the corner.”

The returnable bottles have already been collected, everything else is still lying all over the lawn: The sight, as the BZ reader describes it: “just sad”.
