The rare splendor of the snow and the bright blue sky – that drew many people to the gates of Hamburg. Sometimes the police had to cordon off parks.

After It had snowed on Friday, temperatures in Hamburg were also around zero on Saturday. In all parts of the city there were children on sleds. Many snowmen were also built.

Police close some parks and green spaces

Due to the many visitors flocking to the sleds, the Hamburg police had to close some parks and green spaces. The minimum crown distance often could not be maintained there. “People sometimes sled in a very small space,” said a police spokesman.

Hamburg police cordoned off the Schanzenpark on Saturday afternoon due to overcrowding and searched the entrances.

Among other things, there were loudspeaker announcements in the Schanzenpark, asking people to stay away from others. Tickets were cordoned off with duct tape. Police counted about 400 people there. Also at Donners Park in Elbchaussee in Ottensen it was apparently so crowded that distances could not be kept. Also on a slide in Neugraben-Fischbek. According to the police, between 250 and 300 people were registered here.

Stay cold

Even on Sundays it should remain wintry, alternating the sun and light snow. Temperatures are still around zero, as announced by a spokesman for the German meteorological service. Only Tuesday is supposed to be milder and the risk of frost and slips should decrease.

Clean city with many vehicles outside.
