URGENT! Due to a lack of intelligence at the Law and Order Office, numerous strong men and women are being sought to carry cars on January 5, 2026Yes, I know, that sounds funny, but what can you do when the Order Office of the Burgenlandkreis makes the holding of the peace demonstration on January 5, 2026 dependent on exactly that. Otherwise, fines are threatened. 
Sorry for the image, but even the AI apparently finds the demonstration conditions so absurd that it couldn't generate a suitable picture Specifically, it's about the fact that on Monday, January 5, 2026, another peace demonstration is scheduled to take place in Zeitz. However, the decision from the Law and Order Office clearly stipulates that the demonstration march may only take place exclusively on the sidewalk (see below). In the past, the demonstration has always been partially conducted with pedestrians and cars. The Law and Order Office is obviously aware of this, as it demands, among other things, that vehicle drivers possess a driving license and be capable of operating the vehicle. Consequently, on Monday from 6 p.m., a large number of strong men and women will be needed to ensure that the cars participating in the demonstration march do not touch the roadway under any circumstances. The cars must therefore be carried. Since it can be assumed that one or another sidewalk may be too narrow, it will also be necessary to turn the cars. If signs on the sidewalks prevent the cars from being carried past them, in my opinion it would also be necessary to cut these signs off using an angle grinder and then re-weld them using welding equipment. This call therefore also applies to those who have access to such tools. Yes, I know, that sounds funny, and now the usual government loyalists will cry out again that this is nonsense. The full text of the conditions decision is provided below. And if the government loyalists now think that as a demonstration organizer and participant one shouldn't be so pedantic, I unfortunately have to say that it is precisely the law and order offices that are often extremely pedantic and just waiting to restrict or even ban such demonstrations due to alleged violations of such decisions. They are extremely precise about that. And the government loyalists, who always stand up for the protection of "our democracy," certainly don't want the right to demonstrate to be restricted, do they? Review of the Decision by the AII tasked the AI (ChatGPT artificial intelligence) with analyzing the decision from the Law and Order Office of the Burgenlandkreis. I really don't want to scare Mr. Nico Neumann, who put this decision together, but I'm afraid he might soon be reassigned to another role. Because the AI identified numerous serious deficiencies without going too deeply into it. If the AI had been asked to draft such a conditions decision, it would probably have turned out legally cleaner. Unless the instruction to Nico Neumann was to provide some amusement for the demonstration organizer and those involved with this decision. In my opinion, that has at least partially succeeded. However, this probably rather leads to the competence of the district administration being seriously questioned once again.The AI's FindingsThe conditions decision of the Burgenlandkreis for the planned demonstration on January 5, 2026 raises numerous serious legal questions and reveals a series of problems that suggest both formal and substantive illegality. First, it is noticeable that the authority largely bases its conditions on blanket formulations and standard text modules without specifying concrete dangers to public safety. Although § 13 Para. 1 of the Saxony-Anhalt Assembly Act generally permits the imposition of restrictions if an immediate danger is apparent, such a risk assessment is completely absent here. Instead, it is merely claimed that the factual requirements are met, without presenting concrete evidence, prior experiences, or specific risks. According to the case law of the Federal Constitutional Court, such justification is insufficient; it must be case-specific, comprehensible, and based on facts. In its current form, the decision appears like preventive control of the assembly, which is constitutionally problematic.Particularly striking is the requirement that the march must take place exclusively on the sidewalk, while the assembly regularly also involves vehicles. This discrepancy leads to a practical dilemma, as motor vehicles are not permitted to drive on sidewalks under the Road Traffic Regulations. Implementing the condition would therefore be factually impossible. Such impossible conditions violate the principle of proportionality and can easily be challenged in administrative courts. At the same time, the conditions contain numerous provisions for vehicles, such as the ban on high beams, the requirement for a driving license, and compliance with registration regulations. These requirements directly contradict the obligation to conduct the march on the sidewalk, making the decision internally contradictory and arbitrary. Furthermore, implementing the conditions could even endanger public safety, as attempting to operate vehicles on the sidewalk creates a risk of accidents. The content-related restrictions on the demonstration are also highly problematic. Participants are prescribed that banners, flags, and chants may only correspond to the assembly motto and that certain symbols such as the letters "Z" and "V" or flags of the Soviet Union are prohibited. Here, the authority intervenes in the core area of freedom of expression under Art. 5 GG without a concrete legal basis or a comprehensible risk assessment. The blanket provision that no one may defame others or violate human dignity is also problematic, as criticism of authorities or public figures is permissible under German law and criminally relevant content is already covered by criminal laws. Particularly critical is the obligation of the organizer to be constantly present and to maintain ongoing communication with the police and assembly authority. While coordination between the assembly leader and authorities is common, the wording here exceeds the scope of legal authorizations. It appears as mandatory surveillance of the assembly leadership, which in extreme cases could be deemed an impermissible restriction of the assembly. Additionally, the decision requires the organizer to announce the conditions to participants before the assembly begins. This is formally illegal, as an administrative act may only be proclaimed by the authority and cannot be delegated to the party or participants. This effectively turns the organizer into a representative of the authority without legal basis. Another serious deficiency concerns the duties of the assembly leader and stewards. The decision obliges them to ensure compliance with road traffic regulations and to secure the assembly. Such transfer of security tasks to private individuals is not legally covered. Securing public traffic areas and enforcing the StVO is exclusively the responsibility of state organs such as the police or order office. Imposing duties that exceed the legally provided competencies of an assembly leader is therefore impermissible and violates the basic principles of administrative responsibility. Another serious deficiency concerns the immediate enforcement of the conditions. Although the decision refers to § 80 Para. 2 Sentence 1 No. 4 VwGO and claims that enforcement is necessary, it provides no clear, independent order. The only justification is that otherwise an objection would have suspensive effect and the assembly "could be conducted without restrictions." This wording is a mere cliché that contains no case-specific risk assessment as required by administrative case law. The lack of concrete justification, combined with the unclear order, makes the enforcement in practice illegal and challengeable. Overall, the picture emerges of a decision that appears formally correct in some points but is factually impossible to implement in concrete terms, substantively arbitrary, and partially unconstitutional. Particularly the combination of the sidewalk requirement, vehicle march, impermissible transfer of security tasks, content restrictions, and the threat of fine proceedings creates a situation in which freedom of assembly is de facto severely restricted. From a legal perspective, these deficiencies are so serious that an objection and urgent application to the administrative court would have very good prospects of success.

For items 2 to 18 of this decision, immediate enforcement is ordered pursuant to § 80 Para. 2 Sentence 1 No. 4 of the Administrative Court Code (VwGO). 20. This decision is issued free of charge. II. Reasoning Ms. XXXX registered the aforementioned outdoor assembly with the Burgenlandkreis on 28.12.2025. After a short greeting of participants on the Altmarkt in Zeitz, the assembly is to take place as a march through Zeitz. The Burgenlandkreis is the responsible assembly authority pursuant to § 1 Para. 1 No. 1 of the Ordinance on Responsibilities in Various Areas of Hazard Prevention (ZustVO SOG LSA). Pursuant to § 12 Para. 1 VersammlG LSA, anyone intending to hold a public outdoor assembly or march must register this at least 48 hours before announcement to the responsible authority, stating the subject of the assembly or march. This obligation was fulfilled with the registration by email, the subsequent email exchange, and the personally conducted cooperation discussion. This order is therefore also sent by email. During the cooperation discussion, it was already verbally stated that there are no objections to this. Furthermore, pursuant to § 13 Para. 1 VersammlG LSA, the responsible authority may make the assembly or march subject to certain restrictions or prohibit it if, according to the circumstances recognizable at the time of issuance of the order, public safety is directly endangered by the conduct of the assembly or march. The factual requirements of § 13 Para. 1 VersammlG LSA are met in the present case. The conditions for the assembly are necessary to maintain public safety. However, the conditions do not disproportionately restrict freedom of assembly or the right to free expression of opinion (Art. 5, 8 GG). To that extent, the conditions are justified below insofar as the measures taken are not already self-explanatory. The assembly authority also has the express right to impose further conditions for maintaining general safety and order as required by the occasion. If there are repeated violations of restriction orders, this may lead to the termination and dissolution of the assembly by the assembly authority. If the assembly is terminated prematurely, participants must be called upon to leave the assembly site immediately or disperse and informed that further assemblies would be illegal. To 2.) Pursuant to § 6 Para. 4 VersammlG LSA, the assembly leader exercises house rights; pursuant to § 7 VersammlG LSA, they determine the course of the assembly. They must ensure order during the assembly. They may interrupt or close the assembly at any time. They determine when an interrupted assembly is resumed. In order for the assembly leader to effectively fulfill these duties and to ensure communication with the police and the assembly authority, the assembly leader or their deputy must be present at all times. To 3.) The leader may avail themselves of the help of an appropriate number of voluntary stewards in exercising their rights under § 7 VersammlG LSA. Given the expected number of participants and the course of the assembly, which also includes a march with vehicles, the assembly leader must use stewards to fulfill their duties. Without the support of additional persons, there is a risk that the assembly leader cannot or cannot adequately fulfill their duties in a timely manner. It seems appropriate to deploy one steward per 25 participants, at least 2 stewards. To 4.) To ensure the constitutionally protected legal interests of other persons and to best protect this assembly, changes to the route are only possible in agreement with the assembly authority and/or the police. To 5. and 6) The priority of these vehicles arises from the fact that constitutionally protected, higher-ranking legal interests such as life and limb take precedence over the right to freedom of assembly and opinion. The same applies to police or assembly authority loudspeaker or megaphone announcements, which only occur in special, rare exceptional situations to protect and enforce higher-ranking legal interests and are necessary for rapid and effective police action in hazard prevention. To 7.) The march takes place in public traffic areas. The Road Traffic Regulations apply. In addition to the special rights for vehicle convoys, all other provisions of the Road Traffic Regulations (StVO) remain in force throughout the entire assembly period. For this reason, participating vehicles must be registered and have valid main and emissions inspections, all drivers must possess a driving license appropriate to the vehicle driven, mobile phone and alcohol bans apply. Large gaps must be avoided so that other road users recognize the march as such and non-assembly vehicles do not join the march during it. The use of high and fog lights is prohibited, as it is already not permissible under the Road Traffic Regulations in this situation (driving in built-up areas or by several vehicles in close distance). It leads to dangerous situations if other assembly participants or road users outside the assembly are dazzled by improper use of lighting. Honking may be used as a warning of dangerous situations and to indicate overtaking outside built-up areas. The vehicle convoy is not a dangerous situation requiring continuous honking as a warning. Continuous use of the horn is therefore not permissible as a means of expression under the StVO rules and must be refrained from. To 8.) The prohibition is necessary to prevent criminal offenses and to ensure public safety during the assembly due to the ongoing war situation in Ukraine and the associated effects on the Federal Republic of Germany. To 9.) Due to the disinhibiting effect of alcohol, the potentially increased aggression potential resulting from consumption, and the possibly restricted or eliminated ability to coordinate and control, an alcohol ban is essential. To 10.) The restriction to the assembly motto arises from the fact that pursuant to § 24 No. 1 VersammlG LSA, the leader of a public assembly commits a criminal offense if the assembly is conducted substantially differently than stated in the registration. To 11.) This regulation is preventively necessary to exclude the use of expression means as weapons or dangerous tools from the outset. Pursuant to § 15 VersammlG LSA, it is already prohibited to carry objects suitable as protective weapons and apparently intended for that purpose under the circumstances. To 15. and 16.) This regulation is also preventive, as open fire and glass bottles pose an increased general risk potential. To 19.) Regarding the order for immediate enforcement of the imposed restrictions, this is necessary because an objection to this order would generally have suspensive effect. In the event of an objection, the assembly could then be conducted without observing the restrictions. This must be avoided to prevent significant impairment of third parties' fundamental rights and thus a disturbance of public safety and order. Only through the effectiveness of these imposed restrictions is it ensured that the expected disturbances to public safety are prevented. In this respect, the concrete balancing of interests shows that, in view of the aforementioned endangered legal interests of persons not participating in the assembly, their interest in conducting the assembly without restrictions must take a back seat in this regard. The outcome of any objection or lawsuit cannot be awaited for the reasons stated. Therefore, in the present case, the necessity of ordering immediate enforcement arises from the described risk situation. III. Legal Remedy Instruction You may lodge an objection to this decision within one month of service. The objection must be filed with the Burgenlandkreis, Schönburger Straße 41, 06618 Naumburg (Saale).
