Festival Jamel rocks the forester: District criticizes the court ruling!

In a few weeks, more precisely on August 22nd and 23rd, 2025, a sign of right -wing extremism will be set again in the small community of Jamel. The now known music and democracy festival "Jamel rocks the forester" heralds its next round. However, there are some excitement in advance that the local authorities and the organizers keep in suspense. ndr is reported for the first time as a meeting, which could result in possible requirements.

The origins of this festival against the right go back to 2007. Horst and Birgit Lohmeyer launched it to counteract the influence of neo -Nazis in the region. In an area in which 95 percent of Nazis are, according to the information, their commitment is all the more remarkable. The Lohmeyers were even awarded the Order of Merit of the State of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, which underlines their tireless work for democracy and tolerance.

legal disputes

Politics, however, take a challenging turn. The district of Northwest Mecklenburg, represented by District Administrator Tino Schomann (CDU), is irritated by the recent decision of the Schwerin Administrative Court. This decision was made in favor of the organizers and led to a complaint by the district. The legal arguments were initially about a lease of around 8,000 euros for parking spaces that the municipality of Gägelow had requested. lto reported that this fee would consider the association considerably.

The authorities had also expressed concerns to introduce an alcohol ban and the ban on glass bottles, which was rejected by the organizers. The administrative court found that there were no sufficient evidence of possible dangers through these measures. So it is to be hoped that the situation will no longer come to a close time before the festival and the preparations can run smoothly.

a festival with great demand

The festival has created a consistently positive echo and the demand for tickets far exceeds the capacities. Last year, artists such as the Fantastic Vier and Olli Schulz delighted visitors. This year you can expect not only music lovers, but also numerous activists and committed people who want to set a sign of tolerance together.

Although the legal dispute over the fees and requirements has not yet been enclosed, the hope that the festival "Jamel rocks the forester" will attract many people as usual. After all, it's not just about music, but about strengthening values that are good for our society - tolerance, democracy and a clear no to extremism.
