Last weekend, the Police in Berlin were called to Magdalena Club. Apparently, a suspected illegal party was taking place in the venue. A resident reached the authorities in order to stop it. In the end, it was only a misunderstanding.

A woman in Germany called emergency number 110 at around 9:30 pm when she thought she discovered an illegal rave taking place. This woman found a Saturday night Livestream of a club and thought that the viewers were real people gathering in the club. As during the pandemic, the police went to the place in order to shut it down.

Moreover, the ‘numerous’ situation required the police to gather a large number of officers to control the party. They headed to the nightspot in Friedrichshain, everything was looking normal as they heard a loud sound from the inside of the venue. Sticking to the plan, police officers surrounded the building, but could not see anything strange through the windows.

After a first examination, police ringed the front door. Someone opened it, and invited the officers inside to view the ‘illegal rave party’. Surprisingly, the police officers found the DJ and an internet live stream with no guests present beyond the people playing and running the stream.
