I assume it’s not open to the public.
That 100% happens in the US. In fact, the whole basket is often removed.
The circle goes into the quarter circle hole
Probably to prevent older kids from using it outside the school’s opening hours, especially during silent hours and on Sundays.

Oh I have a good one for you:

But why? Is playing basketball outside allowed times a serious crime?
And boomers are complaining that kids never play outside
OP, I guess it’s humorous, but this is not a particularly German thing – this happens in other countries in Europe or the US regularly, too.
It’s likely a private ground; letting anyone play there without supervision will create issues with liability for damages or injuries.
Plus, some dicks will without fail trash the place sooner or later; rubbish, graffiti, grinding/skating on walls, light fires or breaking lights, noise disturbance – you name it.
VERBOTEN
Germany in a nutshell: no fun for you!
Baptism of Basketball hoop?
Tell us that you never traveled without telling us that you never traveled…
I have seen this in at least a dozen other countries .
I used to see this a lot growing up in Canada (Toronto). My grade school had basketball nets (just the rims, never had actual nets of course) that were taken down during school breaks, and I can recall some sort of object being latched on to block them too.
They did this also to prevent people using them when school was not on, after hours. Sometimes school activities would continue after formal school class hours, and they didn’t want random strangers around while kids were still present. I kinda get it. I recall our rims being damaged by outsiders at times too. They’d intentionally hang off the rims, bending them down, and lots of garbage and graffiti could be left too.
“Only in Germany…” OP clearly hasn’t visited alot of countries lmfao
The typical “Germany is so terrible” circlejerk on r/Germany.
People don’t even realise that they’ve become a hilarious cliché themselves.
It is illegal for outsiders to enter a school without a valid reason, especially outside of operating hours. This is considered trespassing and is a criminal offense.
Removing reasons for trespassing is kinda genius
Haben sie hier auch aufm grundschulgelände gemacht weil es den Nachbarn zu laut war, so bro dann zieh nicht neben 2 Schulen ein
