Halloween in Berlin: 700 police officers against party panic!
Today, October 30, 2025, a signal is being sent in Berlin: With a massive presence of around 700 police officers, the capital wants to be prepared for the upcoming Halloween night. These security measures are the result of lessons learned from previous years and are focused on specific hotspots in the city.
The Berlin police have strategically placed their forces in so-called problem areas such as the High Deck settlement and Gropiusstadt in Neukölln, Pallasstrasse in Schöneberg and various areas in Moabit. The focus is on preventative measures to guarantee the safety of all celebrants. As rbb24 reports, the planning for the operation on October 31st is based on the incidents of last year, when there were numerous police operations.
Experiences from previous years
Last year, the situation was not entirely unproblematic: around 130 people were temporarily arrested, and there were increasing attacks on police officers and firefighters, who were attacked with pyrotechnics by groups, often consisting of children and young people. The focus of the operations was on busy streets in Wedding, Schöneberg, Kreuzberg, the north of Neukölln, Gropiusstadt and the Märkischesviertel.
On Halloween night 2024, the police were on the move with up to 800 people to ensure order and quickly stop any riots. Fireworks and firecrackers were set off throughout the city, which can contribute to the festive atmosphere, but often lead to dangerous situations.
Safety on Halloween
The increased police presence is intended to ensure that the celebratory evening is as carefree as possible for everyone. The goal is to be prepared for unpleasant surprises and to take consistent action against acts of violence. The Berlin police have made it their mission not only to react to disruptions, but also to counteract them in advance. This ensures that Halloween remains not only a celebration for horror fans, but also an evening for safety and community.
So prepare, be careful and enjoy the festive atmosphere. Halloween is just around the corner, and as you can see, the focus is not only on the spooky costumes, but also on creating a safe environment for everyone.
