In German culture....a 'house ban' means the bouncer or guards kicked you out and you can't come back. In public pool chatter....it means for the current season....you won't get back in. Fresh new year next year? Yep, and a chance to get back on the good-boy list.
So Berlin was asked by the public....what's the public pool numbers for house bans?
Answer....for 2023? So far, Eighty, and according to their best guess....at the present pace, it'll end up around one-hundred-and-sixty by the end.
So naturally, you'd ask for 2022.....what was the house ban number? Well...133.. For 2021? 79. For 2020? 71. For 2019 (before Covid)? 432. For 2018? 572.
It's an odd trend line (info from RBB).
Lot more house bans for 2018/2019....but almost near 2021 levels? Yeah.
I would suggest that a lot of this chatter before 2023....didn't get noted on social media or in the regional news. More cop involvement? No one says that (oddly).
More group brawls? No one says that.
More Berlin city bad boy behavior? Well....you don't get national numbers or Bavarian numbers, or Bremen numbers, or anything else to compare to.
In fact, they can't even tell you if these are all male house bans, or if a few young ladies brawled as well.
It just makes you wonder if people latched onto the brawls and pool protection as some national trend (when it isn't).
