Pandemic and closed playgrounds in Hamburg-Eimsbüttel

Original: °Dinge die die Welt nicht braucht° Eine Pandemie. und dann: Abgesperrte Spielplätze. 18. März 2020 - Eimsbüttel # FotoVo

On 18 March 2020, during the early coronavirus pandemic, a playground in Hamburg's Eimsbüttel district was locked off with barriers. A photo of the scene was shared under the ironic heading 'Things the world doesn't need', pairing a pandemic with closed playgrounds. The image captures the frustration families felt as Germany began shutting public spaces to slow the spread of Covid-19.

Why now: The photo recalls the early lockdown measures of March 2020, when playground closures became a symbol of pandemic restrictions.
