In Wolmirsleben, Saxony-Anhalt, around 70 people defied a swimming ban and held an unauthorized 'people's swimming day' at the closed Schachtsee beach. Police dispersed them in the morning, but after officers left, the bathers returned. The beach and campsite are closed due to missing building permits and fire safety violations, a decision upheld by two court rulings.
