Events

On February 28, the 54th edition of the International Tourism Exchange Berlin (ITB) planned from March 4 to 8, 2020 was canceled due to the corona virus. On March 8, 2020, Federal Health Minister Span then recommended that all events with more than 1,000 people across Germany be canceled. The Berlin Senate followed this recommendation and decided on March 11, 2020 that all events with more than 1,000 people are prohibited from now on. The regulation should initially apply until the end of the Easter holidays on April 19, 2020. However, the regulation was changed on March 17th. Since then, all public and private events with more than 50 participants have been banned. For events with fewer guests, the organizers had to create an attendance list to ensure contact tracking. On March 22, events and gatherings were banned with a few exceptions. The first relaxation of this measure was decided with the Fourth Ordinance amending the SARS-CoV-2 Containment Measures Ordinance of April 21, 2020. Private events for family reasons such as weddings and funerals were again allowed on April 28th with up to 20 participants. The number of participants was later increased to 50 by ordinance of May 28, 2020.

schools

The first public school, the Emanuel Lasker Oberschule in Friedrichshain, closed at the beginning of March. On March 12, eight schools were closed.

The majority of the federal states closed all schools on March 16, a Monday, so the last day of school there was March 13. In Berlin the general closure did not take place until March 17th, so the last day of school was March 16th.

On April 27th, classes began again in schools - initially limited to 10th grade students.

In addition, classes for the 6th grade began again on May 4, 2020. Grades 1–4 should come to schools again by May 24, 2020, but with fewer lessons per week.

All daycare centers closed on March 17th.

playgrounds

Contrary to the recommendation of the federal government of March 16, the Senate did not decide to close the playgrounds on March 17. The keeping open was supported by Senator of Health Dilek Kalayci (SPD) with the reference that there are already “so many prohibitions”, by Senator for Culture Klaus Lederer (Die Linke) with the sentence “because in the big city not every house has a garden and children in small apartments just get sick after weeks. ” Ramona Pop said,“ We ​​also need a balance. ”and it is healthy to go out into the fresh air. Anna Lehmann from the TAZ asked in a comment on March 17th: "Leave them open!"

According to Frank Bewig , Spandau City Councilor for Health, the playgrounds were partially overcrowded. The playgrounds were then closed at the district level.

  • March 19: Mitte (press release of March 17, 2020), Marzahn-Hellersdorf (press release and general ruling of March 18, 2020), Reinickendorf (press release and general ruling of March 18, 2020) and Spandau (press release of March 18, 2020) have the immediate Closing decided, followed by Steglitz-Zehlendorf (press release March 18, 2020).
  • March 20: Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Lichtenberg and Tempelhof-Schöneberg followed with the closure.
  • March 21: Pankow, Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, Neukölln and Treptow-Köpenick also ordered the closure.

On April 23rd, the reopening of the playgrounds on April 30th was announced.

retail trade

On March 18, all retail businesses that do not belong to one of the following sectors had to close : "Food and beverages including late-night sales outlets, pick-up and delivery services, weekly markets with a restriction to the ranges permitted for retail in this ordinance, pharmacies, facilities with medical supplies and for Acquisition of hearing aids and visual aids, drugstores, petrol stations, laundromats, newspaper sales and bookstores, retail for building, horticultural and animal supplies, bicycle shops, handicrafts and craft supplies ”. The establishments that are open must take hygiene measures.

Due to non-compliance with the distance rules due to overcrowding, the police took over the entrance control at a supermarket in Charlottenburg, the market closed a little later.

On March 28, the Berlin-Brandenburg retail outlet called on supermarket customers to wear face masks.

Retail stores up to a size of 800 square meters have been allowed to reopen since April 22.

As of May 9, the restriction to 800 square meters no longer applies.

Transportation

Air traffic

At Berlin's Tegel Airport was nighttime ban eased to facilitate the return of passengers and freight transport.

By March 19, traffic in Tegel and Schönefeld had dropped to 25%.

On March 23, it was reported that air traffic in Berlin-Tegel had dropped to 10%. Rainer Bretschneider , head of the supervisory board of Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg GmbH , did not rule out the closure of one of the two Berlin airports. Daniel Buchholz called for an immediate closure.

By March 25, traffic at the two airports had dropped to 3,500 passengers, less than 5%.

The shareholders' meeting of Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg GmbH decided on May 20th that Tegel Airport could close on June 15th. However, on June 3, this decision was reversed.

Local public transport

On March 3, the spokeswoman for the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG), Petra Nelken, announced that there are currently no measures against the corona virus at the BVG and that these would not bring anything.

Since March 12th, the BVG buses have been running around the driver with a tape recorder, and boarding only takes place at the rear doors.

The S-Bahn doors are partially opened automatically in order to reduce the need to press the buttons. However, this does not work at all stations and with all series.

Bus and tram operations have been reduced since March 18, and the Berlin S-Bahn slightly reduced its services on March 19 . Since March 23, the Berlin U-Bahn has only been running every 10 minutes. Operation of the U 55 was discontinued.

From March 24th, special trains will increase the frequency due to the sometimes heavy filling, especially in the U5 and U6.

Since Monday, April 20, the underground lines U2, U5 and U7 have been running according to the regular timetable again. It was announced that from May 4th, all buses, trams and underground trains should run according to the regular timetable. This does not apply to the U 55, which will no longer operate until the U 5 is extended to the main train station , which is expected at the end of 2020.

Bicycle traffic

Scoreboard at the end of March 2020 in Lichtenberg “Mit d. The bike to work protects against infection #FlattenTheCurve "
Provisional cycle path at the end of March 2020 on Hallescher Ufer

After three days of planning by the Berlin Senate Administration and the district office of Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg , one of the three lanes with yellow markings, construction site beacons and bicycle pictograms was launched as a pilot project on March 25 on Halleschen Ufer between Hallescher Tor and Köthener Straße , where there was previously no bike lane rededicated as a pop-up cycle path - an idea that had been implemented the week before in the Colombian capital Bogotá . An area on Gitschiner Strasse in Zossener Strasse was also enlarged for bicycle traffic. These measures, which are limited until the end of the pandemic situation, are necessary “due to the short-term rearrangement of the traffic volume”. They are intended to promote cycling as a comparatively low-risk form of transport with regard to the risk of infection with the coronavirus and enable a greater safety distance between individual cyclists. A decision would be made to set up further such cycle paths “after an extremely short evaluation phase”. In other districts, the establishment of such cycle paths was also considered.

Cultural institutions

In a press release on March 12th, the Senator for Culture and Europe, Klaus Lederer, announced that state theaters, operas and concert halls will cease their performances in front of an audience from March 13th. The state museums, memorials and galleries sponsored by the cultural administration of the State of Berlin and the Central and State Library (ZLB) would also cease visitor traffic in closed rooms from March 13 or 14.

The State Opera Unter den Linden and the Berlin Philharmonic are strengthening their digital offering.

Ordinances of the Berlin Senate

The Berlin Senate has passed an "Ordinance on the measures required to contain the spread of the new type of coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 in Berlin" ( SARS-CoV-2 Containment Measures Ordinance - SARS-CoV-2-MaßnV). On March 19, the first ordinance amending the SARS-CoV-2 containment measures ordinance and on March 21, the second ordinance amending the SARS-CoV-2 containment measures ordinance was issued.

Exit restrictions

March 17th: Few people at the Brandenburg Gate
March 22nd: Potsdamer Strasse , near Potsdamer Platz , largely deserted
March 28th: Berlin Central Station , few people are on the platform
April 5: The police asks at the Brandenburg Gate to keep your distance.

The Senate issued an ordinance, initially valid for two weeks from March 23, which, in addition to the nationwide ban on contact , stipulates that "people [...] in Berlin [...] have to stay in their home or normal accommodation at all times" . Reasons for leaving the apartment can be made "credible" to the police during controls (Section 14 (2)). This includes u. a. Employment, necessary shopping, child care, visits to the doctor and individual outdoor sports, insofar as these are not prohibited by other provisions (Section 14 (3)). Leaving or returning to Berlin is also a defined exception (Section 14 (3)). The ordinance also includes an “identification requirement” for an identification document (Section 17).

As reported in the media, the Berlin police point out, “that exercise and sport are allowed outside, as is a short rest and lingering in one place. But sitting on blankets, sunbathing and sitting outside for long periods are forbidden ”. On April 2, the ban was eased: A maximum of two people or family members with whom you share a household to rest on a blanket in a park or on a park bench for a “short” period was allowed again with the introduction of a new catalog of fines. A minimum distance of five meters must be maintained, on park benches a distance of 1.50 meters is sufficient. At the same time, the obligation to carry an identity document was lifted. The police union criticized the new regulations - it is no longer verifiable due to the omission of the obligation to carry ID cards which people belong to a household or a family and therefore do not have to keep the minimum distances to each other.

Currently (May 30, 2020) the exit restrictions and the mask requirement apply until July 4.

Jurisprudence

A Berlin lawyer sued against the stipulation in § 14 sentence 3 n of the Sars-Cov-2-Eind Maßnv, which requires a lawyer appointment to be "urgently necessary" in order to be considered a reason within the meaning of the regulation for leaving one's own apartment . The lawyer saw in this the free access to his mandate and his professional freedom violated. The Berlin-Brandenburg Higher Administrative Court rejected the application to suspend the regulation provisionally as inadmissible. According to the court, legal provisions under a state law can only be checked as part of a norm review, provided that state law provides for this, which is not the case here. In the same case, the Berlin Administrative Court rejected an urgent application to have the regulation declared unlawful. In contrast to the Higher Administrative Court, the administrative court ruled on the matter and found that the lawyer was not threatened with serious and unreasonable disadvantages and that the restriction was justified and not disproportionate in view of the “protection of the paramountly important protected goods health and life” intended by the regulation.

On April 5, it became known that Probst Gerald Goesche had sued the Berlin Administrative Court on behalf of the St. Philipp Neri Institute against the ban on religious services. The congregation wanted to be able to celebrate public services with up to 50 participants in the future. She wanted to undertake to guarantee the minimum distance of 1.5 meters between visitors as specified by the exit restrictions in the Corona crisis. In addition, the names, addresses and telephone numbers of the visitors should be recorded. The Berlin Administrative Court dismissed the action on April 7th. On April 8, 2020, the Berlin-Brandenburg Higher Administrative Court confirmed the administrative court's dismissal decision. In the opinion of the Higher Administrative Court, the ban on worship does not lead to a disproportionate restriction of religious freedom . The encroachments on fundamental rights are justified in order to protect the high-ranking constitutional goods of life and health.

On April 17, the Berlin Administrative Court rejected an urgent application by a schoolgirl to be allowed to miss the Abitur exams that began on April 20 because of the potential risk of infection.

On May 26th, the Constitutional Court of the State of Berlin decided in an urgent ruling that for the time being no fines may be levied for violations of the general minimum distance of 1.5 meters. The same applies to the requirement to reduce physical social contacts to an absolutely necessary minimum. The regulation on fines of the Corona Containment Ordinance has now been suspended in these two points until a judgment on the constitutional complaint is issued, but for a maximum of six months.

Mask requirement

On April 6, 2020, the AfD called for the introduction of a mask requirement in the health committee of the Berlin House of Representatives . The governing mayor of Berlin, Michael Müller , rejected a mask requirement on April 16, 2020. Nevertheless, on April 21st, the Berlin Senate decided that masks would be mandatory from April 27th. In contrast to other federal states, the mask requirement did not initially apply to the retail trade, but only to buses, trams, suburban trains and underground trains. Initially, no fine was imposed for violating the mask requirement. Since April 29, 2020, there is also a mask requirement in retail. On June 23, the introduction of a June 27 fine was announced; those who do not comply with the mask requirement on public transport have to pay 50 to 500 euros.

Education Senator Sandra Scheeres (SPD) announced on July 30, 2020 that a mask would be required in schools. The new school year begins in Berlin on August 10th.

On August 8, parents' representatives in Berlin called for a mask to be compulsory even during class.
