Traffic chaos in Munich: Large demo on Sunday causes restrictions!

This Sunday, June 22, 2025, a large demonstration takes place in Munich, which causes a lot of excitement and expected traffic disruptions in advance. Under the motto "Together against right - for democracy and diversity", numerous organizations, from unions to youth associations such as Jusos and Green Youth, have come together to set a sign of diversity and right -wing ideologies. The police expect over 25,000 participants, which indicates a lively event. Nevertheless, the authorities ask the drivers to avoid the affected area.

The central point of the rally is Lenbachplatz (ZIP 80333, Altstadt-Lehel, Kreuzviertel), from which the demo route leads from the Siegestor to Munich freedom and back. Road users should adapt to significant disabilities in and around Schwabing. According to the news.de the traffic restrictions can be felt from 3:00 p.m. So commuters should adapt their routes accordingly so as not to get into the traffic jam.

traffic disruptions and police operation

Especially from 3:00 p.m. to 6:15 p.m., drivers are asked to avoid Arnulfstraße in the direction of Stiglmaier, since people will fill the road. An additional note by the police and the road user is to observe the signposted traffic management and instructions from the traffic police. A police force of around 400 civil servants is deployed for security during the demonstration to react early to any disorders.

There is further attention to the House of the Danubia fraternity, which is located on the demo route and is observed due to its right -wing extremist orientation. In order to make the event safely, bulky grilles are set up in front of the building. Bottlenecks can also occur in subway traffic, especially for lines U3 and U6, and overcrowded subway stations could be temporarily blocked for security reasons. The Munich Transport Society (MVG) has planned additional employees for the day to support passengers in the best possible way.

research on crowds and security

In view of the possible risks and challenges at major events, research on the security of crowds plays an important role. Prof. Dr. Gerta Köster from the Munich University of Applied Sciences is working on projects to simulate the motion dynamics of crowds in order to gain a better understanding of behavior in such situations. In the OPMOPS project, the cooperative and non -cooperative behavior in demonstrations is particularly considered in order to take measures against default traffic jams or panic in good time. sifo emphasizes that the understanding of the escape behavior of people in dense crowds is of crucial importance.

Overall, Munich not only expects large crowds of people this Sunday, but also an intensive examination of current social issues. A good hand in the planning and implementation of this event will be crucial to make it safe and peaceful.
