Over on the western side of Frankfurt....lies the suburb of Gallus (2 km by 1 km in size). Most folks (even Americans who were around Frankfurt in the 1970s/1980s) would say there's really not much there to talk about.
At some point early on Saturday evening....calls came to the police. Gunshots, from Gallus.
What they found upon arrival were around 30-odd guys....standing around, with a lot of video equipment....making some type of music-video. The police read the Corona ban rules to them, and noted that even if this was a rap-video situation....they didn't really have permission to shoot video like this. Then the cops looked around and guns/drugs were noted with the some of 30-odd guys.
Oddly enough, after they'd ID'ed all of the thirty....most all of them were non-Frankfurt residents. So the Corona rules were read out to them, and fines paperwork was issued.
In the past year or two.....private rap video production has ramped up here in Germany and there are probably a hundred different groups who make their own video, with high-tech equipment. From my prospective, it's more of a hobby, than a money-maker.
Making TV productions or video productions? Generally, every major city has rules and you apply for the situation....stating how you won't disturb property, upset locals with violence, or hinder traffic or safety. But I doubt if these small private groups care for all the extra rules.
