Clashing Rendsburg rallies end peacefully as counter-protesters outnumber AfD supporters

Rendsburg's Schlossplatz hosted two opposing events on February 15, 2025. An AfD rally drew around 70 participants, while a counter-demonstration saw roughly 150 attendees from various civil society groups and antifa organisations. Police maintained a visible presence to ensure order and protect the right to free expression.

The AfD rally and counter-protest unfolded peacefully, with only isolated verbal protests reported. Police, led by contact person Peter Beer from the Neumünster Police Directorate, monitored the events closely. They were ready to intervene if necessary but were not required to do so.

The counter-demonstration, organised by a diverse alliance of civil society groups and antifa organisations, outnumbered the AfD rally. Both events concluded without any major incidents, thanks to the police's preventive measures and the participants' restraint.

The simultaneous AfD rally and counter-protest in Rendsburg ended peacefully, with police ensuring orderly proceedings and safeguarding the right to free expression. The presence of law enforcement deterred any potential disruptions, allowing both events to conclude without incident.
