Huge motorcycle party in Halbemond: Police sound the alarm!
Things will be busy in the Hage community these days. From July 3rd to 6th, 2025, a local motorcycle club is hosting a big meeting that is expected to attract more than 1,000 visitors from the rocker milieu. The police headquarters have already announced clear measures to ensure security and order. The event is categorized as a “police-relevant motorcycle club”, specifically it is the MC committee, an association with strict rules and a distinct hierarchy. Loud Rheiderland Intensive controls are imminent and the police are pursuing a zero-tolerance strategy against rocker crime.
Rocker groups like the MC Panel are known for their clear identity, which is marked by uniform clothing and specific badges. Their legislation and internal rules reflect close personal ties and a low willingness to cooperate with the authorities. This event could lead to an increase in rocker crime, which is often accompanied by violent confrontations and other crimes like this Federal Criminal Police Office explained.
Safety precautions
The police have announced that they will monitor arrival and departure traffic and subject vehicles and people to intensive checks. Nadörster Straße will also be completely closed during this period between federal highway 72 and Halbemonder Straße/Leezweg, which can lead to significant traffic disruptions. Detours will be signposted in good time to direct traffic in an orderly manner.
The police are determined not to tolerate any attempt at shows of force or provocation during the event. This is part of a comprehensive strategy that is also being pursued in relation to the increasing rocker crime in other regions. An example of this is the most recent evaluations in Baden-Württemberg, where an increase in investigations against organized crime was found. Last year the number rose from 36 to 39 cases, with numerous connections to rocker-like milieus being found, such as Esslinger newspaper reported.
Details about the history and background of the rocker groups are also informative. These have their origins in the USA and emerged from former military personnel. The international network and legal structures of the clubs enable them to be used for criminal purposes, such as in the security industry or in the red light district, which represents a connection to organized crime.
It remains to be seen how the big meeting in Halbemond will go and what challenges the police will have to overcome. Preparations are in full swing and the public can hope for a safe weekend, even if the rocker scene continues to cause a stir.
