Locking of Deisterallee: Wine festival ensures taxi traffic chaos in Hameln

The wine festival in Hameln is just around the corner and not only brings pleasure for all wine lovers, but also a tight security concept. This year, part of Deisterallee, which leads past the community garden, remains closed during the festival. This causes resentment among local taxi companies, which now have difficulty picking up their passengers. The only accessible entrance to the Bürgergarten is located on Deisterallee, which has additional challenges for taxi drivers, as they are often forced to collect their customers further away. Dewezet reports that the taxi entrepreneur Ömer Sahin from Silver Car suggests an alternative pick -up location at the bus stop at the tourist center. In addition, visitors can also wait for their taxis on the other side of the street, on the 164-ring. Sahin is concerned that older guests could have difficulty getting to the taxis.

The blocking of Deister avenue is part of a comprehensive security concept that the city of Hameln has implemented to ensure a safe festival to visitors. This concept was developed not least in response to the tragic events at the city festival in Solingen, where fatal incidents and injuries have occurred. Therefore, the security measures were also exacerbated for the upcoming paving festival in Hameln. NDR it makes clear that a new general release prohibits the carrying of weapons in the old town. These include knives, dangerous tools, firearms as well as fireworks and pepper spray. Smart controls are also intended at events such as the wine festival.

precautionary measures and reactions

The increased security precautions are not only a local decision, but also follow a superior framework for major events that have been constantly adapted and updated for several years. Information from the Interior Ministry NRW show that security aspects must be thoroughly examined by the municipalities at large events. A structured procedure is intended to increase security and improve the follow -up of events. With increased risk potential, the organizer is expected to work closely with the responsible offices.

These measures are particularly important, especially in view of the recent false reports on alleged threats of attack that have been distributed on the Internet. The police categorically rejected such rumors and yet clarified that corresponding safety precautions are maintained under all circumstances. Mayor Claudio Griese also called for citizens to react calmly and prudently and not to panic.

With all of these precautions, Hameln has decided to do everything possible to ensure both the fun of the wine festival and the security of all visitors. In this sense, the city administration and the organizers are well positioned to celebrate a happy and safe party.
