Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier also
warned on Friday that the situation could get out of control in view of the increasing occupancy of intensive care beds.
With a view to the
art industry
, which was
badly hit
by the
partial lockdown
, he said: “Especially when we can no longer go to a concert, theater or exhibition because of Corona, then we have to get creative ourselves and think about how
we should can support cultural workers in other ways. "
In the meantime, the
Karlsruhe Administrative
Court has granted
a request from
lateral thinking demonstrators
against the requirements of the city of Karlsruhe.
The participants in the demonstration on Saturday do not have to wear
masks
because, in the view of the
court,
the city's command
would have interfered too much with the freedom of assembly.
In a
demonstration
of only 500 demonstrators, with a more stationary character, it is possible to comply with the distance rule, according to the court.
The city can, however, impose further requirements on site at short notice.

"The situation is very serious and dramatic," said
Vice Government Spokeswoman Ulrike Demmer
on Friday.
It now depends on everyone's consideration.
Chancellery chief Helge Braun gave hope for December.
The goal of the newly introduced measures is a December in which Christmas business and visits to friends and relatives are possible again.
The
constitutional lawyer Ulrich Battis
praised the federal-
state
resolutions on Wednesday, also in comparison to earlier decisions, as a “carefully justified and balanced overall concept”.
Nevertheless, he expects successful lawsuits against parts of the concept.

The
implementation of the new Corona rules in Germany is
causing delicate follow-up debates -
a heated dispute has broken out
over the question of how
contact restrictions in private apartments
should be
controlled
.
Among other things, there are allegations at Markus Söder's address that Bavaria promotes “denunciation”.
In particular, the
FDP and CSU
are in a clinch.
The Bavarian State Chancellery felt compelled to clarify.
In a
government
statement
on Friday
,
Söder
defended
Bavaria's corona measures.
With a view to the debate about the constitutionally guaranteed inviolability of the apartment and rule violations within one's own four walls, he emphasized: "I can expressly say that there is no call to give advice."
Merkel announces new corona measures: Kubicki believes in a judicial stop
Update from October 30th, 7.18 a.m.:
Bundestag
Vice
President Wolfgang Kubicki (FDP) does not assume that the new Corona measures will stand up to judicial review.
"The resolutions remain of such a remarkable
contradiction
that it only appears questionable when the first court will overturn them and not whether," wrote Kubicki in a guest article for the
Passauer Neue Presse
.
“Why do nail salons have to close, but not hairdressers?
Why are restaurants also closed where you are still a long way from the self-defined thresholds?
All of this can no longer be explained, ”he criticizes.
The FDP politician sees
“serious birth defects”
in the resolutions
.
A parliamentary debate was once again not possible, only subsequent knowledge.
The Chancellor had "pushed through her ideas on how to effectively combat the Corona policy again without being responsible at all," he said.
Corona summit: Merkel announces partial lockdown - now the list of companies that have to close has been added
Update from October 29th, 9:00 p.m.: The
federal and state governments decided on Wednesday that many companies in Germany have to close in November.
A number of trades were listed in the corresponding resolution, including cinemas, theaters, opera and concert halls.
However, some uncertainties were left behind.
Museums
, for example, were not included
in the list.
The culture ministers of the federal states have now specified the resolution.
In a conference on Thursday it was agreed, according to dpa information, that museums must also close.
It was also stipulated that trial operations, for example in theaters, may be continued.
The aim is to enable the houses to reopen in December.
Corona in Germany: Merkel defends lockdown in the Bundestag
Update from October 29, 10:46 a.m.:
Chancellor Angela Merkel
has in the Bundestag
issued a government statement in which it once again explained the lockdown measures decided on Wednesday.
During a discussion, the Prime Minister of Rhineland-Palatinate,
Malu Dreyer
(SPD), had a say, who made the prime ministers' point of view clear.
Due to the
exponential growth,
we must now act together.
"Fast, unbureaucratic measures" are needed.
Dreyer
also called the offer of the federal government
to take over
a large part of the
turnover
for companies that are affected by the closings as a “more than good offer”.
Update from October 29th, 8:18 am:
Federal Health
Minister
Jens Spahn
defended the tough measures against the pandemic agreed by the federal and state governments by the end of November.
It was a difficult time for those affected, but contacts absolutely had to be reduced, he said on Thursday morning in a telephone interview on WDR.
The number of
infections
rose rapidly again, especially among the elderly.
"I don't want to wait until the intensive care units are overcrowded," he said.
"If they're overcrowded, it's too late."
His own illness gave him a different perspective on the
pandemic
.
The experience made him "humble," said Spahn.
He is fine himself, he only has mild cold symptoms.
Chancellery chief Helge Braun (CDU) also
defended
the drastic
corona measures
in November.
"We now have to go ahead as politicians with a clear signal, because acting early ultimately enables us to act more leniently," Braun said on Thursday on Deutschlandfunk.
Braun stood behind the controversial
closure of restaurants
*.
"We have to prioritize, of course," he said.
Schools, education and most of the craft, middle class and business sectors are to be fully maintained.
“But somewhere we have to reduce the number of contacts.” That is most proportionate to leisure activities.
The companies would receive 75 percent of the turnover of last November from the state.
That is very, very expensive, but certainly appropriate to help those affected through the tough month.
Corona lockdown in Germany: FDP does not want to support the new measures without discussion
Update from October 29, 7.51 a.m.:
The FDP does
not want to support
the new
anti-corona measures
in Germany without further discussion.
The prime ministers had acted in part uncoordinated, said their parliamentary manager in the Bundestag,
Marco Buschmann
, on Thursday in the ARD morning magazine "We will have to rework that now." He turned against "leaning the whole country together".
"Very tough talks" had already taken place in the evening after the resolutions of the federal and state governments and during the night.
Now the question is "how these things are implemented in state law".
Buschmann announced that the FDP was trying to "involve parliaments more where we co-govern".
These are North Rhine-Westphalia, Schleswig-Holstein and Rhineland-Palatinate.

Dispute over corona lockdown: preliminary positions of the prime ministers very different
Update from October 28, 10:56 a.m.:

Merkel's plan for the corona lockdown: Virologist Kekulé does not think that catering closings make sense
Update from October 28, 10:23 a.m.:
The federal resolution, which became known before the
federal-state meeting
, provides for the
closure of
restaurants
and similar facilities.
Virologist
Alexander Kekulé,
however, thinks that closing restaurants does not make sense, as he
said
on
Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk
on Wednesday
.
It is more important to crack down on violations of the existing rules.
SPD health expert Karl Lauterbach
expressed himself differently
on Twitter: He believes that the measures
could stop
an exponential increase in
new corona infections
, unless gastronomy is removed from the concept.
Lauterbach argues that by
sitting
opposite without a mask,
aerosol transmission is
"hardly avoidable".
(2) In gastronomy, most contacts take place outside the family.
All age groups use gastronomy.
In a conversation without a mask, sitting opposite, aerosol transmission in the interior is hardly avoidable.
