"In the end there were too many people. Instead of the registered 25,000 people, according to estimates by the Berlin police, 200,000 people celebrated on the Straße des 17. Juni in the evening, according to organizer Dr. Moth even 300,000. Therefore, due to security concerns, the organizers were persuaded to end the Love Parade early, said a police spokeswoman on Sunday. Dem be Dr. Motte finally followed. The event is set to take place again next year."

Well, if 25k people were expected and 200k showed up, I suppose it was a resounding success! Bit disappointing it was all down the street between the victory column and Brandenburger Tor, but apparently too many people were crowding around the first truck, so they weren't allowed around the victory column. And if it hadn't rained around 3pm, might have been shut down even earlier. 😂
