Chaos in the Hemelinger tunnel: police stop ruthless wedding corso

on Saturday evening, June 21, 2025, a rapid wedding corso in Hemelingen, Bremen, caused a lot of excitement. Witnesses reported that the Autokorso formed at 7:05 p.m. in the Hemelinger tunnel and then moved over Pfalzburger Straße towards Stresemannstrasse. The street scene was strongly shaped by abrupt braking and ruthless driving maneuvers, which not only massively disabled the participants themselves, but also other road users. According to [police.news] (https://polizei.news/2025/06/23/bremen-rueckSichsichsloser Hochzeitkorso-Though-Fuer-Strasschaos-Polizei-greift-ein/), some people danced on the streets.

The police, which was made aware of the situation, stepped in and checked the participants of the corso. "Such behavior cannot be tolerated," said a spokesman for the Bremen police. After the personal details were taken up, the vehicles that took part in the Korso were finally allowed to leave the route individually. However, the officials created several administrative offenses, including one for coercion in road traffic. The police pointed out that car corsos can bring dangers to other road users.

ruthlessness leads to consequences

Such behavior had consequences. In addition to the procedure initiated, there were also indications of possible fines that may occur in typical violations of the traffic rules. An unnecessary noise from vehicle use can be punished, for example, at 80 euros, while driving on the opposite lane and other disadvantages of regulations do not remain without consequences.

The legal situation in Germany is clear: Autocorsos are not prohibited per se, but participants must adhere to speed and traffic rules. Otherwise there are legal consequences and possible fines. According to the catalog of fines, crossing traffic rules is not only a legal risk, but also a danger for all road users.

tradition meets modern challenges

Autokorsos originated in Italy and Spain and are particularly popular with weddings and football celebrations. The enthusiasm for this form of tradition has been unbroken, but as the incident in Hemelingen shows, careful handling is essential. While the festive mood is to be celebrated, the security aspect must not be neglected. The police therefore recommend ensuring safe planning and implementation in advance. So the joy of the special occasion remains undisturbed.

Another incident that at the same time attracted the attention of the police was the accident of a seagoing ship in Bremerhaven, which joined the pierced edge of the Kaiserschleuse. This happened at around 7:15 p.m. and led to a further determination of the water protection police, which shows the versatility of the challenges that the law enforcement officers looked at the weekend, as well as the Kreiszeitung reported.
