Large crowds gathered in Berlin on Sunday at a canal in Kreuzberg to take part in a "save rave culture" party.
Thousands congregated at the Landwehr Canal, according to BZ.de.
Rave clubs have been closed for months due to the coronavirus outbreak. It's not yet clear when they will reopen.

Another person joked on Twitter: "Berlin is free from corona."
