About 3,400 people protest in Mitte against military conscription

Police said a protest against military conscription in Mitte on 25 September drew about 3,400 people at its peak, including a school strike.

In police report no. 1261, dated 26 September 2026 and filed under Mitte, Berlin Police summed up a protest against military conscription (Wehrpflicht) held in Mitte the day before. At its peak, about 3,400 people took part. The protest's motto said that war and crisis are eating up people's lives, called for fighting back together, and included a school strike, meaning many participants were likely pupils. The report's headline calls it a summary ('Bilanz') of the protest. The search excerpt available to me didn't include the route, any incidents, arrests or how many officers were deployed. Readers should check the original report. Note on the date: this report was published on 26 September 2026, not on the requested 29 September 2026. It is included as a fallback because no berlin.de press release dated 29 September could be found during research.
