Overview

  • The Allgemeiner Deutscher Fahrrad-Club (ADFC) has filed an emergency injunction to overturn Munich authorities' ban on using Autobahn A96 for its Radsternfahrt demonstration, citing safety concerns as the reason for the prohibition.
  • The Munich Kreisverwaltungsreferat (KVR) proposed an alternative route via Autobahn A95, but the ADFC rejected it, calling it unsafe due to narrow turns and infrastructure issues.
  • The Radsternfahrt demonstration is scheduled for May 18, 2025, with organizers expecting up to 10,000 participants and advocating for 'Autobahn-quality' cycling infrastructure.
  • The event will feature eleven demonstration trains converging from various Bavarian cities into Munich, culminating in a rally at Königsplatz with a planned stage program.
  • Regardless of the court's decision, the ADFC has confirmed that the demonstration will proceed, with final route details to be published online closer to the event date.
