Believe it or not.. the right for demonstration weights higher then business or even state things. The right for demonstration is within the basic law, after the rights of life (1st), health (2nd), personal evolvement and the right to think and learn whatever one wants / right of freedom of speech (3rd).. and some others. All other laws are somehow based on them or take them into account. Here also should be said "the exercise of basic law for one has a limit when it touches the exercise of the basic law of another"
(One example: when there was corona, a lot of people refused to wear a mask. It's their freedom to do so. But they may get in conflict with other ones basic law to stay healthy and not being made ill. So the one who's infected can sue the one who's choosing not to wear a mask.. that hasn't been understood by the non-maskers)
This basic laws have and can be exercised by everyone in Germany. No matter of you're a private business, a state owned public company (which both aren't natural persons), you have to stand behind.. even if that means your building site is blocked. You can call your lawyer and sue the ones. But the judge will assess your needings against the exercise of basic law of individuals demonstrating and if it is legit, you'll lose the trial.. if not, then you can ask for compensation..
that's the way it should be everywhere. Water cannons used to secure a business is a sign of a repressional state form where the rights of an individual are less worth than the money.
Think again about it, whether it should or shouldn't be like that :)
