"Unacceptable noise levels prompt move: Munich's Grünwald becomes destination for cacophonous event"
In the heart of Munich, the annual "Noise Parade" event, a demonstration against high rents and lack of space for the city's subculture, recently passed through Ludwigs- and Isarvorstadt. This year, the event started and ended at the Theresienwiese.
Organisers of the Noise Parade insist that all noise limits were adhered to, but many residents and BA members reported extreme noise levels in apartments, with the thumping basses lasting for hours. The noise was described as "intolerable" and "something else," causing concern for district councilor Rudolf Cermak (CSU) who expressed worries about the excessive noise pollution, particularly on Auenstraße.
Despite the concerns, there are no direct references in the current search results about any official suggestion or discussion to move the Noise Parade event in Munich from the city center to Grünwald due to noise complaints. It may be a developing issue without official announcements or covered in other sources not included here.
The city of Munich hosts this event organised by the initiative "More Noise for Munich." Green Party member Arne Brach suggested a different route for the Noise Parade, while Claudia Lowitz (Green Party) showed understanding for the event.
Julia Richter, spokesperson for the Noise Parade, stated that they need enough space for participants. In the city center, it's mainly struggling tenants who are affected. The slow movement of the convoy was due to the police gradually opening roads.
The Noise Parade took place on Ascension Day, and while music festivals in Munich continue through summer 2025, including open-air festivals mostly near Völckerstrasse and other locations, there are no indications of relocation due to noise concerns. Instagram posts show rave and parade-related events in Munich city areas like Maxvorstadt, but do not mention moving the Noise Parade.
For the most accurate and updated information, checking local news outlets or official Munich city council statements regarding event permits and noise regulations would be advisable.
The Noise Parade organizers, under the initiative "More Noise for Munich," are advocating for a lifestyle that embraces music and freedom of expression, with a focus on finding adequate home-and-garden spaces for participants within the city center. Meanwhile, district councilor Rudolf Cermak (CSU) raises concerns about excessive noise pollution, particularly on Auenstraße, expressing the need for a balance between the parade's lifestyle and the city's residential areas.
