Right of assembly

If you intend to hold a rally, assembly, demonstration, vigil or similar event in the open air, this must be registered with the Borken district police authority as the assembly authority responsible for you.

48-hour time limit

The right to assemble in the open air can be restricted by law or on the basis of a law (Article 8(2) of the Basic Law). This is done, among other things, by the Assembly Act NRW (VersG NRW). Public assemblies in the open air or processions must be notified at least 48 hours before the invitation to the assembly in accordance with Section 10 (1) VersG NRW.

If you wish to notify an open-air assembly, please contact the Borken district police authority, Central Tasks Directorate, Section ZA1.3, telephone 02861 900-3104, -3114 or -3115.
