Chaos in Grolland: 200 young people escalate the party and riot!
In Bremen, more precisely in the Grolland district, there was a massive escalation on October 23, 2025 during a party that a 17-year-old was hosting in her parents' house. While originally only a few friends were invited, around 200 young people showed up, which caused a lot of chaos. The cause? Apparently the celebration was announced on social media, prompting neighbors to complain about the noise. Loud NDR The first police operation was necessary on Saturday evening around 11 p.m. Officers had to cordon off the entrance to the property and ask uninvited guests to leave.
But that turned out to be more difficult than expected. Up to 60 young people returned after midnight and insults were directed at the police during the operation.

The operation is linked to reports of property damage and theft, as the hostess also reported the theft of cash from her wallet.

This fits with the demand that schools should offer workshops on how to use social media. For young people it's normal and full of fun, but this can quickly go in the wrong direction. The incident in Bremen clearly shows that this is not an exception, but possibly a recurring pattern.
