Summary
Germany is enforcing a strict knife ban at Christmas markets as part of a new security package passed in October following a deadly knife attack in Solingen that killed three and injured eight.
Interior Minister Nancy Faeser pledged “strict enforcement” and “zero tolerance,” with fines of up to €10,000 for violations.
The ban applies to knives at festivals, markets, and large events, with police ensuring compliance.
The measures aim to enhance safety at Germany’s iconic markets, which have already seen one unrelated injury this season.
You can still buy and transport knives, they just have to be in a “locked” container. Basically just not easily accessible.
Not sure why you are getting down voted, that is literally how the law works. If you buy a knife at the market and transport it inside it’s packaging you are allowed to carry it with you
