U.S. Consulate General Munich (June 23, 2022)
Location: Schloss Elmau (near Garmisch-Partenkirchen) and Munich
Event: G7 Leaders’ Summit: security measures and possible demonstrations
The G7 Leaders’ Summit will take place from June 26-28, at Schloss Elmau near Garmisch-Partenkirchen. German authorities have implemented heightened security measures in the vicinity of the conference and in locations of expected rallies. Access areas around the meeting site will be restricted. Expect security checkpoints, road closures, and traffic disruptions in the vicinity. The Bavarian Police have information on their website (German only) about what to expect in terms of security and traffic conditions. Routes between Munich city center and the airport, and the connection from Munich to Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Mittenwald may be particularly affected.
Protests and demonstrations related to the G7 Summit are expected in both downtown Munich and areas near Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Although these are intended to be peaceful, even peaceful demonstrations can turn confrontational and possibly escalate to violence. We advise U.S. citizens to take common-sense precautions and avoid areas around protests and demonstrations.
Actions to Take:
· Avoid areas of demonstrations.
· Exercise caution if unexpectedly in the vicinity of large gatherings or protests.
· Monitor local media for updates
· Keep a low profile.
