Tuning madness in Hoppegarten: Police draw harsh conclusions after meeting!
In Hoppegarten, a hotspot of the tuning scene, large tuning meetings took place on June 21st and 22nd, 2025, which once again attracted many car fans. Hundreds of vehicles, including both cars and motorcycles, were part of the event. How Moz.de reported, the police carried out extensive checks in cooperation with the public order office and technical inspectors. Around 150 vehicles were checked at two checkpoints, and the results are not without consequences.
Overall, the inspectors found the following abnormalities:
- 3 Strafverfahren
- 12 Ordnungswidrigkeitsanzeigen
- 10 Verwarngelder
- 9 Mängelkarten
- 10 Fahrzeuge ohne gültige Betriebserlaubnis, dazu gehörte auch ein BMW 535 mit manipulierter Abgasanlage
- Ein 19-jähriger Motorradfahrer ohne gültige Fahrerlaubnis
- 24 Parkverstöße
Controls and noise pollution
The police also carried out speed checks along the B1/5 and recorded 1,600 vehicles. 68 were speeding, with one driver attracting attention at 107 km/h in a 70 zone. In addition, a 33-year-old man disrupted the measurements and had to expect police custody.
The tuning meetings not only attract car fans, but also cause discontent among local residents. How Headtopics.com According to reports, many residents complain about the noise caused by the meetings and the souped-up vehicles. Every Friday, tuners from Brandenburg and Berlin areas gather to exhibit their pride. But while some are having fun, others feel like their night's sleep is suffering.
Legal basis of tuning
Vehicle tuning is popular in Germany, but it is subject to strict legal regulations. Changes to the vehicle must usually be approved by a recognized expert. Without this acceptance, significant problems can arise, such as Rights check determines. Illegal tuning can result in fines, points in Flensburg and even the loss of your operating license. Tampering with safety-relevant components such as brakes and chassis is particularly dangerous.
Another tuning meeting will definitely take place this year - the police have already announced that further checks will follow. A meeting between tuning enthusiasts and the expectations of local residents will therefore continue to be exciting.
There is also another highlight planned for Hoppegarten in the near future: the “Diana Trial” race day will take place on Sunday, which could perhaps distract some of the car fans and calm minds.
