Penzberg / Weilheim
- During the silent march through Penzberg city center on Monday evening, everyone had a light, a candle or a torch in their hands, and a few were equipped with posters. The event had been requested by a private person. The call was only made through word of mouth, she said. The motivation of the participants was varied: "It is about the compulsion to vaccinate, about the agitation against unvaccinated, but also about peace, freedom and self-determination", she explained.
On the occasional posters it was primarily about a possible vaccination obligation.
“No compulsory vaccination - leave our children alone” or “Where is the right to physical integrity?” Read.
One participant had to hand over his oversized scythe, which he did after a brief discussion with a police officer.
His large self-made syringe explained his position on a vaccination even without the scythe.
Far more participants than requested in Penzberg
The participants made their way through the city center in silence.
Many families with children were among the demonstrators.
99 percent of the participants went without a face mask.

"Everything went smoothly, only with an estimated 400 participants it was way more than the 100 requested." After arriving on the town square, the meeting broke up - without big words, but with the promise to meet again next Monday.
Event not registered in Weilheim
In Weilheim there was also a "gathering", as Vice Police Chief Boris Nechayev called it.

There were no actions in Schongau and Peiting.
