Demonstrators in Berlin swam in the Spree Canal to protest a century-old bathing ban introduced in 1925 over pollution concerns. The protest targeted the restriction on swimming in the inner-city waterway, which has been in place for over 100 years. Organizers argued that water quality has improved and the ban is outdated. The event drew attention to ongoing debates about public access to urban waterways.
