Honor for Bad Nauheimer: Civil courage stops burglar gang!

In Bad Nauheim, civil courage is very important. Sebastian Maryska, a resident, secured an honorable place in the community on June 22, 2025 during the Hessentag in Bad Vilbel. He received an award for his tireless use in the capture of a burglar gang. Prime Minister Boris Rhein presented a total of 49 awards, including honors for the police, federal police and the US Army. Maryska was one of the outstanding heroes of the day, who revealed crime with his courageous action.

On a relaxed day off, Maryska witnessed an attempt to break in in his neighborhood. Instead of letting him happen, he acted immediately, filmed the crime with his cell phone and immediately informed the police. When the perpetrators noticed that they were observed, they fled. But thanks to the information reported by Maryska, including the license plate of the escape car, the police were able to clarify two burglaries and two markers in the Wetterau. The supporting video material of a surveillance camera confirmed its information and helped to advance the investigation.

honor for brave citizens

The awards that Prime Minister Rhein awarded in Bad Vilbel included 15 Hessian rescue medals, eight honorary letters, seven thanks and recognition certificates as well as 19 public committees. "Your actions are a remarkable example of civil courage. You help to live in a safe and peaceful Hesse," praised the praise the excellent citizens and emphasized the important role of the individual in the fight against crime.

In a time when many people tend to look away, Maryska shows that a courageous intervention can be decisive. We are all legally obliged to work in the event of criminal offenses within our options. According to the website of the German statutory accident insurance, people who actively help are fundamentally insured, which also rewards the courage for civil courage. Each individual is therefore responsible for a peaceful and civilized coexistence.

The role of the police and their officials

But not only the civilian population is important. The police also played an important role in investigating the crimes. Police chief commissioners (POK), such as those involved in the investigation, not only have a successful degree, but also take on management tasks in the upper service.

• POK are placed in the A 10 grade.
• You can work in different functions, from investigators to the train driver in closed units.
• You ensure that the laws are enforced and crimes are pursued.

Maryska's commitment and the commitment of the police show how important cooperation and civil courage are in society. The success of investigating crimes is often the result of joint efforts by attentive citizens and committed officials.
