U.S. Consulate Frankfurt released the following Warden Message on February 23:

An "anti-globalization" demonstration scheduled for downtown Frankfurt on Saturday, February 24, 2007, from 2:30 - 6:30 pm could possibly turn violent. American citizens residing in and traveling through Frankfurt are encouraged to avoid the demonstration area.

Participants will meet at Hauptbahnhof and proceed to Taunusstrasse - Moselstrasse - Münchnerstrasse - Willy Brandt Platz - Friedenstrasse - Rossmarkt - Grosse-Bockenheimer Strasse to the Opernplatz, where a final rally will be held. The Opernplatz is the area in front of the Alte Oper at the beginning of the Zeil pedestrian zone.

Police expect up to 1000 participants at this event. The demonstration is authorized by the city, but police expect violence against banks, shops, expensive vehicles and other "symbolic" targets may take place.

The Consulate advises all Americans traveling or residing in Frankfurt to keep abreast of developments, remain vigilant, and avoid large crowds and political demonstrations.

For the latest information on Germany, U.S. citizens should consult the Department of State's Consular Information Sheet for Germany, and the current Worldwide Caution Public Announcement which are available via the Internet at http://travel.state.gov.
