Abstract
Not a day goes by without news on tv, radio or internet regarding the growing resistance of many Germans against the corona policy of the German government. Recent months show that in Germany, the development of resistance movements against the corona policy of the German government has become a problem. Indeed, there have been types of resistance movements since the beginning of the pandemic in the early 2020, but nowadays, it appears as if resistance movements have massively increased. People meet for walks through cities each Monday to express their resistance and thus, policymakers as well as the police have got a lot of work to ensure and establish order. It could be observed that at the beginning of the pandemic, during the first lockdown in Germany, people's resistance was more or less directed towards corona mitigation measures such as the lockdown policy. Nowadays, things have changed and people's resistance is mainly aimed at the restrictions against unvaccinated people and the debate about a general compulsory vaccination for all inhabitants.
