Falkensee relies on video surveillance: Cemetery should be protected from vandalism!

in Falkensee, in the Hovelland district, there are serious efforts to better protect the city cemetery on Kremmener Straße against vandalism. At the request of RBB, the city administration confirmed that video surveillance is considered after the city council unanimously issued a test order. The aim is to find suitable measures to preserve the cemetery from further attacks, while all data protection requirements must be taken into account.

This step takes place against the background of a worrying vandalism problem on the site, which has been completed for more than two years at night but has nevertheless not decreased. In June last year there was even a devastating fire in a hall in which maintenance devices and tools stored, with property damage of over 100,000 euros. Unknowns had left the main gate and set fire to the warehouse. In the past, plants were also stolen, tombstones were knocked over and garbage left, which alarmed the townspeople.

fixed opening times for the cemetery

In order to counter the increasing problem, the city administration is now also focusing on fixed opening times. From July 1, 2022, the cemetery is open every day from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. to increase security for visitors and to further difficult. In addition, the cemetery administration will point out the visitors to deal with water sparingly, according to a general order of the Hovelland district.

The telephone consultation times of the cemetery administration are also set to enable citizen inquiries and increase security. If you have any questions, interested parties can contact the cemetery administration who are there for the citizens on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. The administration is confident that the increased measures and the new opening times can achieve a significant progress in the fight against vandalism, such as [falkensee.de] (https://www.falkensee.de/news/1/745958/nachrichten-s-%C3%B6ffungenzeiten-F%C3%BCr-den-friedhof-kremner-stra%C3%C3%C3%C3%C3%C3%C3%C3%C3%C3%C3%C3%C3%C3%C3%C3%C3%C3%C3%C3%C3%C3%C3%C3%C3%C3%C3%C3%9FE. reported.
