608. Wurst market Bad Dürkheim: Police accounted for the first weekend

On September 6, 2024, the starting signal for the 608th Bad Dürkheimer Wurstmarkt, a folk festival with tradition and numerous visitors was given. The preparations of the police and the regulatory office were geared towards a trouble -free course of the festival. With a fixed police station on site and the use of modern video technology, the challenges that are associated with the high number of visitors should be mastered. This is particularly important in view of the size of the festival area and the extensive infrastructure associated with the event.

The first three days of the market, which took place from September 6th to September 8th, were characterized by bright sunshine, which led to a significant increase in visitor numbers. During this time, the police found a total of 10 assault offenses, plus two pickpockets, an insult, a violation of the weapons law - in this case a whipping ring - and property damage.

positive feedback and challenges

However, the police balance was mostly positive. Despite the registered incidents, most of the sausage market went without major disorders. The emergency services were well prepared and were able to react to the situation both preventively and reactively. This shows the commitment of the security authorities that focus on the safety and comfort of the festival visitors.

The decision to use video technology was particularly remarkable. In a world in which security should be in priority, this technology helps to keep an eye on the events on the sausage market and, if necessary, to intervene quickly. This is a reaction to the increasing number of visitors and the associated risks associated with large public events.

On the sausage market, people are not only attracted because of the specialties offered, also the festive atmosphere and the opportunities for social interaction are a great incentive. Many visitors are looking forward to the culinary delights that the festival has and take the opportunity to spend time with friends and family.
