Freedom of assembly is a fundamental right, even at demonstrations like the Monday walks in Landsberg.
But does this outweigh the citizens' need for peace and quiet?
Landsberg – Freedom of assembly is a fundamental right.
This is also evident in demonstrations that residents find loud - such as the Monday walks in Landsberg.
Citizens are defending themselves against this with a signature campaign.
And were also there last Monday.
Noise at Monday demonstrations in Landsberg: Should citizens' need for peace and quiet be inferior to freedom of assembly?
The last Monday demonstration was much quieter than the previous ones - also because, according to the Landsberg police, there were only one truck, a tractor, 13 other cars and around 60 pedestrians on site - and the route of a large truck from the Swiss army was also influenced .
The demonstrators then took the registered route via Neue Bergstrasse and Münchener Strasse, through the roundabout and back to the main square.
The fact that the fundamental right of freedom of assembly allows a certain volume can also be read on the “Demos against Nazis” website of the Action Alliance Against Violence, Right-Wing Extremism and Xenophobia: It must always be possible to establish contact with passers-by.
“Third parties (...) have to endure the resulting nuisance, other people’s need for peace and quiet must be inferior to (...) freedom of assembly.” However, the assembly authority can “set the loudspeaker volume to a maximum level in order to avoid unacceptable noise nuisance to third parties.”
According to Anna Diem from the district office's press office, the district office's requirement for the Monday walks is as follows: "The volume must be adjusted so that only the immediate meeting participants are addressed."
Passers-by and residents should “not be involved more than is unavoidable given the circumstances”.
Kron also registered the drums, horns, loudspeakers, etc.
Heavy vehicles such as trucks and tractors through the old town - up to 3.5 tons are permitted in the city center - are also covered by the Basic Law, according to Diem: “Meetings are generally allowed to take place in public spaces/on public streets.
Incidentally, the right of assembly here takes precedence over road traffic regulations.” There are no agreements with the monument protection authorities or other experts.
Mayor Doris Baumgartl on Monday demonstrations in Landsberg: Citizens feel “unbearably massive” burden
Criticism was also directed at Mayor Doris Baumgartl at the citizens' meeting on Monday last week.
Your statement: “Freedom of expression and the right to demonstrate are the greatest assets of our democracy.
As mayor, I understand the anger of the residents of Landsberg city center, who feel unbearably burdened by the weekly demonstrations and the large vehicles that drive through our old town.
Consideration and peaceful coexistence look different to me.”

She worries that hardly any other people come to the old town on Monday evenings.
We will coordinate with the district office “whether there are legal options to protect the residents of the city center.” Ultimately, the decision rests with the district office.
The city of Memmingen has issued a possible general order.
It prohibits tractors from driving at meetings, but only applies to meetings that are not registered in time.
Because of Monday demonstrations in Landsberg: Green MPs make a small request to the state government
Green MP Gabriele Triebel also asked questions about the demo - with a small request to the state government.
She asks whether the government can confirm that the district office has “examined the legal possibility of a general decree to regulate the demonstrations registered for Mondays in the inner city area of the city of Landsberg in such a way that they are based on the size of the vehicle and the volume (honking concert). "If so, ask why this order to protect the residents and the building structure was not issued by the district office.
She will receive an answer to her request on Thursday, said Triebel.
The fact that the Monday demonstrations are currently not going through the old town may also be due to a construction crane that is on Ludwigstrasse and could make it difficult to drive through due to the required distances.
Schlossergasse recently had to be closed due to a defective gas pipe.
