I don't think it's related. It's been a new years tradition in Berlin for years.
I have friends and family in Berlin and I spent new year's Eve there five years ago. It was totally crazy. People shooting fireworks at each other in the streets and from/to the balconies.
I ended up with a jacket full of burn holes, and we were in a kind of quiet neighborhood on the outskirts of the city.
Most likely related to this:
Berlin police have turned a neighborhood known for its Arab population into a heavily restricted area, closing parts of it and prohibiting any kind of protests against the Israeli genocide in Gaza.
Doesn't sound like a country that learned from its mistakes
As long as there are humans, there will get fascists. It's one of life's constants.

I never said it was a thing throughout all human history.
