Police Break Up Berlin-Area House Party That Swelled Past 100 Guests

Police have opened a breach-of-the-peace investigation following the operation.

Overview

  • The gathering began Saturday evening as a private event at a single-family home in Kleinmachnow near Zehlendorfer Damm.
  • Uninvited attendees arrived in large numbers, with many young people described as partly intoxicated and increasingly aggressive.
  • Officers first issued loudspeaker appeals and ordered people to leave the property to quell the disturbance.
  • A large police contingent then cleared the site under threat of physical force after some attendees showed readiness for violence.
  • Authorities reported no injuries or property damage and said follow-up inquiries are underway.
