1 euro donation causes chaos in Dortmund, hundreds of young people clash with

An unusual offer to sell a doner kebab for just 1 euro has caused chaos in the German city of Dortmund. Hundreds of people, mostly young people, flocked to a newly opened restaurant, as the situation spiraled out of control and ended in violent clashes with police.

The incident took place on Sunday on Körner Hellweg Street, where the owner of a bar had decided to celebrate the opening of the business by offering doner kebabs at a symbolic price of just 1 euro.

The offer was widely advertised online and immediately attracted the attention of citizens. According to Dortmund Police, up to 300 people, mostly teenagers and young adults, gathered in front of the bar. Meanwhile, the owner claimed that the number of participants had reached around 1,000.

To manage the influx of customers, the owner had previously hired a private security company. However, the guards were unable to control the crowd, and pushing and shoving began among the people waiting in line.

The situation worsened when the crowd began to obstruct road traffic.

At around 2:15 p.m., the owner was forced to call the emergency number 110 and request police assistance.

Upon the arrival of the officers, the promotional offer was interrupted and citizens were asked over loudspeakers to leave the area.

But police intervention was followed by acts of violence.

According to German authorities, some people in the crowd began to throw stones, fireworks, laughing gas canisters, a chair and even an electric scooter at the officers.

A police vehicle was damaged after being hit with stones.

 

To restore order, authorities mobilized additional police forces, including special emergency units. The operation involved about 100 officers and a police helicopter, which monitored the situation from the air.

After the intervention of law enforcement, the crowd dispersed and the situation calmed down.

Police announced that a person refused the order to leave the area and resisted the intervention of the officers. During the search, an alarm gun was found on him, which was seized. The person was released after the completion of police procedures.

Authorities initiated several criminal proceedings for resisting police officers, disturbing public order, damaging property, and insulting.

Dortmund Police Director Tim Frommeyer strongly condemned the violence against officers, emphasizing that people who attack police cannot be considered simply young people looking for fun, but perpetrators of criminal offenses.

Police have also seized video footage from the scene, which is being analyzed to identify the people involved in the attacks.

 

Meanwhile, municipal authorities decided to temporarily ban the bar's activities. Investigations will determine whether the owner is responsible for organizing and managing the offer that caused the mass gathering.

From 4 euros to 9 euros, the doner becomes a symbol of the rising cost of living

The event has also attracted attention due to the extremely low price offered by the business.

In Germany, a doner currently costs an average of 7.50 to 9 euros, while before 2020 the price was around 3.50 to 4 euros.

The increase in energy, food, and raw material costs has significantly impacted the price of this food, one of the most consumed in Germany.

According to The Guardian, more than 1.3 billion doners are sold in the country annually, while their rising price has become a symbol of inflation and the cost of living.

The doner, popularized by Turkish immigrants in West Berlin more than 50 years ago, is today an integral part of German food culture.

This food has even become the subject of a dispute between Germany and Turkey, after the Turkish organization sought its recognition in the European Union as a traditional specialty, an initiative that was opposed by Berlin and then withdrawn.

After the incidents in Dortmund, the owner of the bar declared that he would donate the remaining donations to a charity that helps homeless people.

What started as a promotional offer to attract customers ended with massive police intervention, criminal proceedings, and the temporary closure of the business.
