The Straße des 17. Juni and Ebertstraße are expected to be fully closed in both directions between Yitzhak-Rabin-Straße and Behrenstraße or Scheidemannstraße from 8 am. A large demonstration will start at 12:30 from Brandenburger. The route will lead via Ebertstrasse, Hannah-Ahrendt-Strasse, Willhelmstrasse, Behrenstrasse, Friedrichstrasse, Reinhardtstrasse, Konrad-Adenauer-Strasse, Otto-von-Bismarck-Allee, Annemarie-Renger-Strasse, Paul-Löbe-Allee, Heinrich-von-Gagern-Strasse, Yitzhak-Rabin-Strasse and Strasse des 17 Juni back to the Brandenburg Gate.
