Traffic chaos in Munich: large demonstration today between Theresienhöhe and Barmer Straße!
This Sunday, July 8, 2025, Munich will be held in suspense by a large demonstration. Under the motto “Together against the right – for democracy and diversity”, more than 25,000 participants gather in Am Bavariapark to set an example for tolerance and diversity.

The traffic situation in and around Schwanthalerhöhe is already tense. Drivers are urged to avoid the area as far as possible in order to avoid the existing traffic jams between Theresienhöhe and Barmer Straße reports news.de. There is currently no information about diversions, which is why road users should pay attention to the signs and instructions from the traffic police.

Safety and traffic irregularities
Police and organizers took joint measures to ensure security during the demonstration. A planned deployment of around 400 officers will accompany the event, while barriers will be set up in front of the Danubia fraternity house, which is on the demonstration route reports BR24. Overcrowded subway stations can be temporarily closed for safety reasons, making travel by public transport even more difficult.

For bus lines such as the 58/68 and others, diversions are planned between Odeonsplatz and Siegestor from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., which makes a relaxed journey almost impossible.
