Police crack down on protesters
When Chancellor Helmut Kohl greeted the invited state representatives, demonstrators protested. Roland Koller, then police chief, said in retrospect that not even the brass band could be heard because of the interferers.
The events surrounding the demonstrations against the G7 summit in Munich went down in police history as the so-called Munich cauldron . On July 6, 1992, up to a thousand police officers surrounded the peacefully demonstrating G7 opponents in front of the Dallmayr coffee house on Marienhof on Dienerstraße behind the New Town Hall . The demonstrators were held there for several hours by officers from the support group . The Munich police later forcibly pulled individual demonstrators out of the cauldron. Kicks and kidney blows have been reported. 480 people were arrested and handcuffed. The police were investigating her for coercion. In retrospect, however, none of the demonstrators was convicted. Among those arrested was, among others, Jutta Ditfurth . Christian Ude filed a criminal complaint against a police officer. 114 victims of the violence sued in court for compensation for pain and suffering. The regional court therefore awarded them 115 DM. In the next instance, the compensation for pain and suffering was reduced to 50 DM.
The then Bavarian Prime Minister Max Streibl commented on the process with the words “If someone thinks he has to mess with Bavaria, then he has to know that reaching out hard is Bavarian way”. Helmut Kohl commented on the events as follows: "I feel complete sympathy for the police and condemn the demonstrations sharply. Anyone who comes to harass guests is deliberately damaging our country."
