Mass brawl in Steilshoop: Thousands of as spectators!

On Sunday afternoon, there was a violent argument between members of two large families in the Steilshoop district of Hamburg. Around 3:20 p.m. the police moved in with a large contingent after witnesses had reported a dispute at the Gropiusring. According to mopo.de gathered over 100 spectators to observe what is happening. So far, nothing is known about the exact number of people involved or the background of the fight, but a neighborhood dispute is suspected as a possible trigger.

Fortunately, there were no serious injuries, only minor grazes were diagnosed. One participant collapsed, possibly because of the heat, while another was taken to the police station. Another incident occurred in the Öjendorfer Park, where around 5:00 p.m. eight people came together due to a parking space dispute. Five people were slightly injured; Three men rejected hospital treatment. Another incident took place in the Billstedter outdoor pool, where young people were involved in a dispute. The security service alerted the police, who was quickly on hand when the situation threatened to escalate. Two young people were bleeding on their face, but rejected treatment in the hospital.

A look at violence in urban space

These events throw a light on the moderate violence that occurs again and again in urban areas. Berlin in particular has recently heard of massive clashes between different large families and cliques. On Friday evening in Kreuzberg there was another violent conflict between two families from Syria and Lebanon, in which up to 100 people were involved. Frame details of the incidents in Berlin show that many of those involved, despite serious injuries - such as a stab wound in the back - were not willing to work with the police. This was an additional challenge for the emergency services, as Tagesspiegel.de

In order to break out of this problem, the Federal Ministry of Youth focuses on preventive measures. The aim is to lower the youth crime and develop action strategies in order to avoid violent conflicts in children and adolescents. This strategy primarily aims to strengthen cooperation between various institutions - such as schools, police and youth welfare. Interested parties can find more information on the website of the Ministry bmfsfj.de .

A central concern of this prevention work is to improve the causes of youth violence and to develop solutions. The help for particularly stressed groups, which are characterized by social disadvantage, experiences of violence or school problems, plays an important role. The recent incidents again illustrate how urgently these topics are and how important it is to take appropriate measures.
