The Hameln-Pyrmont district publishes the speed camera balance for 2025: reduction in speeding violations and new monitoring systems.
Speed camera record 2025: Almost 40,000 speeding violations in Hameln!
The year 2025 ended with an insightful assessment of municipal speed enforcement for the Hameln-Pyrmont district. The latest analyzes show that the number of speeding violations has fallen compared to the previous year. A total of 14,054 violations were recorded by mobile systems and an impressive 39,749 by semi-mobile systems, as reported by radio-aktiv.de. A look at these figures shows that the measures to monitor road safety are having an impact.
Last year, a new combined system for measuring speeding and red light violations was put into operation. Since its introduction on November 26, 2025, this system has already registered 837 speeding violations and 57 red light violations since December 17, 2025. This not only provides a better overview, but also contributes to traffic safety.
Locations with the highest violations
The daily violations are particularly visible in certain places. The B 1/Wangelister Straße in Hameln leads the ranking with 192 violations per day, followed by the B 217/Hachmühlen in Bad Münder with 112 and the B 1/B83 Pyrmonter Straße in Hameln with 103 violations per day. This makes it clear where the biggest problems in traffic flow lie. In addition, last year a total of 246 driving bans were issued in connection with speeding violations and 460 general driving bans due to significant violations.
Income and expenses
The financial aspects of speed enforcement are also notable. In total, around 2.4 million euros flow into the city's coffers from municipal speed measurements. However, this is also related to the costs for personnel, rent, maintenance and insurance of the measuring systems, which are not insignificant. The highest fine for a speeding violation in the last balance was a whopping 2,000 euros, which was imposed for the most serious violation of 132 km/h in a 50 km/h zone on Bahnhofstrasse Bad Pyrmont.
Speed monitoring in the district is carried out using mobile, calibrated systems that are installed at relevant locations and aligned with road markings. The measuring staff is qualified and ensures that the data can be used for reliable speed measurements. As can be read on hameln-pyrmont.de, the owner of the vehicle will be identified by the Federal Motor Transport Authority if speeding occurs. Measurement photos play a central role here because they help to identify the driver and carry out any legal checks.
The discussion surrounding speed monitoring is broad in Germany. Critics say that economic interests are often in the foreground. Nevertheless, the aim of the measure is to increase traffic safety and, last but not least, to promote compliance with traffic rules. Historically, the technology of speed measurement has continuously developed since the first radar devices by Telefunken in 1956 and their use until today, which promises greater accuracy and efficiency, as Wikipedia shows.
