Court tilts for Jamel rocks the forester - district outraged!

In the district of Northwest Mecklenburg it is bubbling: On July 24, 2025 there was excitement around the popular festival "Jamel rocks the forester". The administrative court Schwerin decided in an urgent procedure that the festival could take place and tipped the alcohol ban that the district had previously imposed. Among the decision -makers, there is resentment about the rapid processing of the urgent application on the part of the court. District Administrator Tino Schomann was surprised by the procedure and the fact that the court simply ignored an extensive document of the administration. "Something is wrong," says Schomann, who insists on the fulfillment of basic requirements for public security.

The cancellation of preventive conditions, including the ban on alcohol and the ban on glass bottles, is classified by Schomann as irresponsible. The administrative court did not see sufficient evidence of possible dangers from the alcohol bar and noticed that the festival had been peaceful in recent years. Nevertheless, the district fears that this decision could endanger public security and plans to appeal to the Greifswald Higher Administrative Court in order to create legal clarity. According to the district, the appreciation of the urgency and complexity of the situation was not sufficiently taken into account.

the festival and its meaning

"Jamel Rockt the Förster" has been taking place in the municipality of Jamel since 2007 and has established itself as a strong sign against right -wing extremism. The organizers are the artist couple Birgit and Horst Lohmeyer in cooperation with the association "Together for Peace and Solidarity", IG Metall and the DGB Nord. This year they initially registered the festival as a political assembly to avoid lease fees that the municipality of Gägelow wanted to charge with 8,000 euros. However, the district questioned whether the alcohol can be cut to the character of a political assembly.

The court did not leave the organizers in the rain here either. It found that the district's requirements, including the ban on alcohol, were not proportionate and rejected them. Now visitors in Jamel can count on beer stands and without tightening editions.

politics and legal disputes

The decision of the Administrative Court is not only incomprehensible to the district. Schomann also calls for Prime Minister Manuela Schwesig to restore the trust in the rule of law. A complaint is also checked on the part of the district to strengthen your own position in this legal scramble. "We would like to make it clear that public security issues always have to be in the foreground," said the clear words of the district administrator.

The argument about the festival once again shows how important an appropriate appreciation of arguments and hazard forecasts is. The citizens in the district of Northwestmecklenburg are now looking forward to the further developments and hope that their security concerns will be taken seriously.
