District - Now the general decree from the district office regarding demonstrations on Monday is there.

It prohibits both registered and unregistered public gatherings in the open air - in downtown Landsberg and in Diessen.

The ban applies in the areas listed below on Monday, January 17, 2022, between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m.

The reason can be found in the Official Journal 3/2022 of January 13th:

According to Art. 15 Para. 1 BayVersG, a meeting can be prohibited if “according to the circumstances recognizable at the time the decree was issued, public safety or order is directly endangered. This requirement is fulfilled here. ”Due to anonymous calls on social media,“ non-registered, moving meetings (so-called Monday walks) ”had taken place. More than 1,000 participants were recently there. In addition, a registered meeting of the “Landsbergbeibtbunt” initiative took place on January 10th at Hauptplatz and Georg-Hellmair-Platz with more than 200 participants. The so-called Monday walks had also taken place in Dießen, most recently with around 85 participants. And currently the police for the 17thJanuary "the announcement of a" counter-assembly "already known" - the demonstration of the "Alliance for Democracy and Solidarity".  

One of the immediate dangers to public safety and order is currently the risk of infection with the corona virus. The health department therefore urgently advises against crowds of any kind. One has sharply increasing incidence values ​​and a "completely unclear infection process". Omikron is already responsible for around 50 percent of infections and leads to an exponential increase in the number of infections. If the incidence of 1,000 is exceeded, this means a regional hotspot lockdown for the Landsberg district. Omikron is also dangerously contagious outdoors. "At meetings with such a large number of people as they - not registered and registered - took place on the Mondays of the last few weeks in Landsberg and Dießen", infections cannot be avoided. Through this,that people from several districts came together during the walks, assuming an "uncontrolled spread of the coronavirus". In addition, no contact details are recorded at meetings, making contact tracking impossible.

Because of the “massive occurrence of cases of infection” there is also a risk of failure of relevant infrastructures, among other things due to illnesses of hospital staff, but also during police inspections.

For this reason, too, the infection dynamics must be throttled.

Otherwise there is a risk of overloading the medical infrastructure.

"In particular, the deliberate failure to register the Monday walks with the assembly authority makes it impossible for you and the police to exert any concrete influence on the organizer and to limit the number of participants or achieve other restrictive measures required by security law." necessary minimum distance is hardly possible.  

The arrangement of the ban on assemblies constitutes a "significant interference with the fundamental right of freedom of assembly", but complies with the principle of proportionality: "The arrangement is absolutely necessary for reasons of protection against infection." Based on the experience at previous assemblies, there is a high level for the participants in the assembly Risk of contagion. A ban on assembly has an undoubted preventive effect, which makes it necessary to intervene in the freedom of assembly: "There is no equally effective, but less intrusive means available."

Since the prohibition must obey the principle of appropriateness, the prohibition applies “in terms of space and time only to the public spaces and streets and periods of time known from the experience of the last few weeks”.

The ban is "the mildest means to ensure the health of the population, one of the highest legal interests, the necessary validity.

In contrast, the basic right to freedom of assembly must take second place. "
