Duisburg/Germany All raver were happy that after 2 years another Loveparade was coming up.
The usual topic ‘love, peace and music’ changed into ‘fear, death and panic’. The government from Duisburg was too lazy with the safety measure. The location was for only 250.000 people but it was known, that more than 1 million people will come. The second thing, there was only one possibility to get to that party-location, you had to go through one small tunnel to get IN AND OUT!


There was a lot of critism and warnings before the event, that if the government won’t change this, many people could die or a panic could be the result, but Duisburg’s government just ignored all the warnings and the result? – 19 young teenager died and more than 500 got injured over a dozen seriously, some still fighting for their lifes.
A lot of people came the day after with candles and flowers in memory of the young people.
Now the mood changed from mourning into rage against the government from Duisburg and all of the organzing-team.
The only official statement from their side at the press conferences “Sorry, but for now we can’t say what happened and why..”
It’s a shame, anyone will take the responibility for this and it’s clearly their fault.
The public prosecutor’s office investigate against the government for manslaughter and carelessness at all.
The result at the end, Duisburg destroyed an event which took part since 20 years in Germany. The founder said already in a public statement, that the Loveparade will never be held again.
We all hope Duisburg will pay for this, but it will never bring back 19 teenager to their families, we are with them.
