Police stops dangerous wedding corso in Hemelingen!

on Saturday evening, June 22, 2025, there was an incident in the Hemelingen district in Bremen that caused excitement. The Bremen police stopped a wedding corso that was reported in the Hemelingen tunnel around 7 p.m. Witnesses reported that the Autokorso moved across Pfalzburger Straße in the direction of Stresemannstrasse and that other road users were significantly disabled. Sudden braking, slow driving style and driving on the opposite lane caused dangerous situations.

In the middle of the event, people danced on the street, which also fueled the situation. The police reacted promptly and took up the personal details of the participants. After intensive discussions, the vehicles were finally allowed to continue individually. Overall, the police issued a criminal complaint for coercion in road traffic and several administrative offenses. Kurier reports of this event.

This behavior is not isolated. Similar incidents are piling up in Germany. A wedding corso in the Ludwigsburg district was recently stopped with around 50 cars. Here, too, traffic was significantly endangered: the drivers drove partly into snake lines, cut red traffic lights when re -established and disregarded. Such maneuvers not only put other road users in danger, but also an ambulance that was hindered on the way to an emergency. The incident caused the police to control several vehicles and to issue numerous administrative offenses, similar to Bremen. Tagesschau has reported in detail.

But what does traffic law say? Wedding trips, due to considerable car jewelry such as flower arrangements, grinding and balloons, can require approval according to §46 Paragraph 1 No. 5 StVO if visibility or security are at risk. Before the ceremonies, it is advisable to apply for this approval from the local road traffic authority in good time. The rules are clear: decorations must not protrude beyond the body, and more than 1 m overhang must be marked with a red flag. If an approval is missing, the administrative offenses can also be threatened here if there is no concrete hazard from the vehicle. ACV offers valuable information.

In summary, it can be stated that wedding corsos are a nice event, but the safety of all road users should be in the foreground. The police will remain vigilant to avoid dangerous situations.
