In Berlin on April 30, 2025, two significant events took place, attracting thousands of participants and visitors alike. The day began with the "Peaceful Walpurgis Night in Mauerpark" in Prenzlauer Berg, followed by the "Queerfeminism" march in Kreuzberg.

The "Peaceful Walpurgis Night in Mauerpark" event saw around 9,000 people gather, including event participants and park visitors. The procession marched through several streets, including Engelmannstraße, Skalitzer Straße, Oberbaumbrücke, Warschauer Straße, Audre Lorde Street, and Köpenicker Street.

During the event, pyrotechnics were set off in Audre Lorde Street and Köpenicker Street. Unknown objects were also thrown at deployment forces from the front of the procession in Adalbertstraße, but no police officers were injured. Nine criminal investigations were initiated for assault, property damage, attacks on law enforcement officers, and the distribution of propaganda from unconstitutional and terrorist organizations. Three people were arrested and released after police procedures.

Later in the evening, around 3,200 participants gathered at the fire station fountain in Kreuzberg under the motto "Queerfeminism." The procession moved from Kreuzberg to Grünberger Street in Friedrichshain, passing through Lausitzer Platz. However, a man entered the crowd at Lausitzer Platz and started kicking, leading to his arrest on suspicion of attempted assault.

The "Queerfeminism" march ended around 11:15 pm with around 2,500 people still present. Deployment forces prevented a person from disrupting the procession in Warschauer Straße. Two eggs and two plastic dummies were thrown at deployment forces, hitting one police officer but causing no injury. The police asked the responsible event organizer to ensure that the throwing of objects stopped immediately.

Despite incidents of object-throwing and arrests, both events were marked by large turnouts and passionate participation, reflecting the diverse and vibrant cultural landscape of Berlin. However, the identities of the event organizers for both the "Queerfeminism" march and the "Peaceful Walpurgis Night in Mauerpark" remain unknown.
