Crowd
When baking is called a larger human group that has gathered from a common base in a public place. A 1985 dictionary describes this as " the convergence of many excited people ".
Possible occasions
In general, a crowd can arise spontaneously, due to sensations , such as certain events or celebrities in public. People who gather at the scene of an accident or disaster out of curiosity are called onlookers . A casserole can also develop when people take to the streets out of indignation about an event or news .
In a broader sense, announced gatherings such as the civil parade , the flash mob or the demonstration can also be referred to as a crowd.
Legal
In Germany, since the German Empire, "Auflauf" (§116 StGB) referred to the criminal act of illegally lingering in public places by a crowd. This criminal offense was abolished like that of the " riot " (§115 StGB) in 1970, but if a group opposes the state authority in the public order , the offense of a breach of the peace still exists . There were also comparable regulations in Austria-Hungary .
