Remembering the fallen police officer in Mannheim, authorities across the country are urging people to observe a moment of silence on Friday. "Everyone is welcome to join in the moment of silence," several police branches' announcements shared on Wednesday stated.

At 11:34 am on this day, the police will participate in the minute of silence. This is when Officer Rouven Laur, aged 29, was gravely injured by a knife-wielding attacker at a demo marked by Islamophobia and later succumbed to his wounds in the hospital.
