Riots and Hitler salutes: Police operations on Father's Day at Bostalsee!
On Father's Day, May 29, 2025, there were a large number of police operations at Bostalsee in Nonnweiler. Despite a number of visitors of around 2,000 hikers, the North Saarland police station reported several negative incidents that overshadowed the holiday. One of the most serious events was a person giving the Hitler salute near Center Parc. This act occurred in a group of people and caused a stir among those present.
A police officer who was shadowing at the North Saarland police station was slightly injured during the subsequent measures when several people resisted the law enforcement officers. Due to these incidents, the police had to intervene and initiate appropriate procedures.
Incidents and measures
In addition to the incident with the Hitler salute, the police registered two assault offenses, one count of criminal damage to property, as well as several disturbances of the peace and other administrative offenses. To deal with the situation, blood samples were taken from two of the resisters and a total of three people were taken into custody. In addition, several people were sent off and those at risk were addressed.
Another worrying incident was the admission of a man to a clinic, which was made necessary by a psychological emergency caused by excessive alcohol consumption. These extensive police operations are in contrast to the declining number of visitors to Bostalsee, which makes the situation more complex. According to lokalo.de, there were a total of five operations that responded to the various incidents.
Overall, Father's Day at Bostalsee is characterized by negative behavior and the challenges for the security forces, both in terms of dealing with disturbing people and protecting citizens from aggressive behavior. The police will continue to closely monitor the situation on site in order to prevent such incidents.
The Notice from the North Saarland Police Inspectorate indicates the need to take preventive measures for such holidays in order to ensure safety and order. A strong foundation of prevention work could help create a more peaceful atmosphere for the coming holidays.
