Court-Approved Pro-Palestinian Camp at Hamburg Deportation Site Draws Police Presence and Jewish Protests

The ruling underscores Germany’s broad right to assemble even at a site once used to deport Hamburg’s Jews.

Overview

  • An administrative court cleared activists to set up a pro-Palestinian camp on the Moorweide near Dammtor, a green where Nazis once gathered Jews for deportation.
  • Organizers erected tents under the banner Bridges of Resistance and announced daily events through May 16 with roughly 100 to 150 people present at times.
  • Hamburg police are monitoring the site and deployed riot units to shield a nearby Jewish and Israeli demonstration from harassment reported at the camp.
  • Judicial rulings said an organizer’s extremist stance does not justify a ban without concrete, assembly-related threats, even as the group Thawra Hamburg remains on the domestic intelligence watchlist.
  • Local FDP leaders called for the Moorweide to gain formal memorial status and legal protection, while coverage split between legal focus in Stern and tense street scenes in Bild.
