- ZDF canceled the scheduled act featuring Danger Dan and Igor Levit, citing the song's lyrics as potentially promoting violence.
- The special episode was intended to explore the rise of political extremism and the resilience of democratic values.
- The cancellation followed a detailed review process with input from the broadcaster’s senior management.
- Danger Dan criticized the move as a limitation on artistic and expressive freedoms and plans to release the track independently.
Such a call would be in clear contradiction to ZDF's programming guidelines.— ZDF, in a statement explaining why the song's potential call to resistance would conflict with the broadcaster's programming guidelines, in connection with Danger Dan's planned appearance on Die Anstalt.

- Marla Svenja Liebich, legally recognized as female, is set to serve the sentence in Zeithain men's prison in Saxony.
- The transfer followed evaluations and aimed to protect female inmates at the Chemnitz women's facility.
- In 2023, Liebich was sentenced to 18 months without parole for hate speech and insult charges.
- Legal proceedings to reverse the gender change are still ongoing, while Liebich had escaped Germany prior to incarceration.
It's good that the prison quickly clarified matters and didn't engage in any theatrics.— Constanze Geiert, Saxony's Justice Minister (CDU), after the decision to relocate Liebich to a men's prison.
