Lantern Festival in Bad Homburg: Security proceeds-no live music!

Bad Homburg vor der Höhe, Deutschland - When the days get shorter again and the lights sparkle in Bad Homburg, the lantern festival comes denser and denser. But this year there are some changes that are due to the security situation. According to Bad Homburg there will be no live music at this year's festival in the old town. This decision was made on the basis of recommendations from the state police, which refers to the increase in the number of visitors. This high visitor density brings challenges, especially when it comes to ensuring the safety of the many guests.

A special eye is on the evacuation in critical situations. The old town not only has tight roads, but also identical escape and escape routes, which carries potential risks. All the more, Kurd director Holger Reuter emphasizes the need for extensive security measures that have been implemented in various forms in recent years. Among other things, this includes better illumination and increased security forces to protect the guests during the festival.

security concept and measures

The security situation is continuously observed by the authorities. A comprehensive security concept for the lantern festival is permanently developed. These include measures such as pocket controls, a bottle ban as well as emergency light masts and a safety sound. According to ASD Group , it is crucial to identify possible risks in good time and to implement corresponding measures to reduce risk. Therefore, the use of security employees is also held up to ensure the protection of visitors.

Nevertheless, the guests do not have to do without cosiness. Instead of live music, there will be a beer and vineyard among the bridge arches, where "music from the can" will provide the right atmosphere. In this way, the sociable character of the festival is preserved despite all the security measures.
