Police reassure: No problems with vandalism on Goethe-Allee!
Reports of vandalism in Göttingen's Goethe-Allee: Police see no abnormalities, but increase presence for security reasons.
Police reassure: No problems with vandalism on Goethe-Allee!
There has recently been a discussion in Göttingen about the security situation in Goethe-Allee. Reports of night-time disruptions, vandalism and allegedly illegal racing are causing a lot of talk in the city. However, as the police emphasized when asked, there is currently no reliable evidence of these problems. According to an article on HNA Citizens' perceptions do not match the official situation reports.
Marco Hansmann, the head of the Göttingen police station, has addressed the residents' concerns. In a statement, he explained that the police had carried out expanded checks in the city center, particularly in Goetheallee and Prinzenstrasse. However, the data shows that the situation is within the usual range. Vandalism and threats cannot be confirmed as police data shows. The media reports about frequent disruptions were also not reflected in the police statistics City radio Göttingen informed.
Increased police presence and control
To address citizens' concerns, the police have increased their presence. Controls and response measures in Goethe-Allee have so far shown an unremarkable picture. Neither night gatherings nor illegal racing were observed, which the police confirm in their reporting. Conversations with passers-by and business owners provide an objective picture of the situation that ensures calm.
The security situation continues to be taken seriously. Hansmann emphasizes the need for objective data and an objective discussion about it, as subjective perspectives can vary. “The feeling of security among the population is severely affected by some incidents,” said Hansmann, who asked, however, not to overestimate the situation. The “Northern Inner City” Redevelopment Advisory Board also expresses concern about the reports, but puts them into perspective with the feedback from residents, such as HNA is to be read.
Crime in Germany in comparison
The most common crimes include theft, property and forgery crimes, and brutality crimes. According to police statistics, crimes against personal freedom are still particularly worrying and have not lost their importance in recent years. The police in Göttingen remain in constant contact with residents and businesses and encourage them to report information via the emergency number 110.
Overall, the situation in Göttingen's Goethe-Allee is not as dramatic as some reports suggest, even if there is a divergence between public perception and what is actually happening. The police are holding the fort and will continue to rely on an objective assessment of the security situation while the city listens to the reports and concerns of its citizens.
