Magnifest in Braunschweig: record attendance and peaceful atmosphere!

The Magnifest in Braunschweig's charming Magniviertel once again had a great response this year. On the first weekend in September, the festival not only attracted visitors with its numerous stands, but also with a positive atmosphere and pure sunshine, which increased the number of visitors to a record 200,000. Compared to the previous year, that's at least 20,000 more, which only increases the anticipation for the upcoming events. According to T-Online, the mood among the numerous revelers was exuberant until late in the evening.

The Magniviertel, known for its half-timbered charm and the pretty Magnikirche, has once again proven itself to be the perfect place for such a festival. The stand layout and space were optimized so that visitors could move around easily. The gastronomic offering was also more regional this year, which was well received. The Braunschweiger Zeitung report on the joy of the stand operators, who did good business with their products.

Peaceful process and security

The police drew a positive conclusion after the festival. In total, only two physical injuries and one threat were reported, which is considered extremely low considering the high number of visitors. Even though there were minor disputes on Friday evening, most of which were due to excessive alcohol consumption, the officers deployed were always able to handle the situations well. According to T-Online, the event was peaceful and relaxed and no further measures were necessary.

The safety precautions, such as largely adhering to the ban on glass bottles and weapons, contributed to the calm atmosphere. Interestingly, there were no entry controls, which increased the accessibility of the festival. Only incident-related searches were carried out as part of security measures or law enforcement.
