Security revolution: Lauterbach's new locks for the premium market!

in Lauterbach, where the anticipation for the 253rd premium market grows noticeably, there are now new measures to ensure security during the festival. In cooperation with Alsfeld, the city has bought new security barriers that were already successful at the Pentecost market in Alsfeld without incidents. These locks were strategically placed on the access roads to the Lauterbach premium market and should not only serve the protection of visitors, but also the residents and the emergency services. Alisa Wohlfahrt and Saskia Kreit from the city of Lauterbach present the new security precautions that are specially designed for major events.

The safety precautions are not common. In coordination with the police, fire brigade and emergency services, the position of the locks was determined. For example, on the prominently located corner of Bahnhofstrasse and Bleichstraße, the ARMIS ONE safety element stands, flanked by two octa blocks. This construction has an essential function: In the event of a breakthrough of a truck, the lock is automatically wedged in the driver's cab and stops the vehicle. For ambulances and authorized vehicles, the locks can be unlocked quickly if necessary.

Not only the safety of the visitors is the focus. Accessibility for residents and delivery traffic was also considered. During the festival, especially on Tuesday, June 17, 2025 (Strolchenlauf) and on Wednesday, June 18, 2025 (main market day), there are special passport barriers. Some barriers, such as "Am See" and "Bleichstraße", are opened at certain times, while other areas such as "Am Graben" are regulated by a traffic light. For all other barriers, they have to remain closed during the festival. The city asks for understanding and support so that everything runs smoothly.

The implementation of these security measures is no coincidence. In today's world, security at major events is often only discussed after incidents. The most recent incident in Magdeburg has illustrated urgency to close security gaps and actively ensure security. A well thought -out security concept plays a crucial role in the success and security of such festivals, both for the organizers and the population, and should be considered life -saving, as the experts emphasize. This increases the trust of the citizens and ensures that everyone involved can certainly enjoy the festival.

The total costs for the new safety blocks amount to around 300,000 euros, with 25,000 euros per municipality being funded by land. Lauterbach and Alsfeld share the costs of around 125,000 euros, which clearly shows the fertility of the cooperation between the two cities. Those responsible are looking forward to the fact that the new security measures do not restrict the festive character of the premium market, but rather contribute to a carefree experience for all visitors.
