Carnival in Karlsruhe: Police draws positive records despite alcohol problems

Durlach, Deutschland - The carnival parades in Durlach and Karlsruhe were mostly peaceful, according to the positive record of the city and police headquarters in Karlsruhe. After the incidents in Mannheim on March 3, 2025, the security measures were significantly reinforced, including more safety vehicles on the access roads to the city center. Despite the measures, there were some incidents, including numerous young people who consumed a lot of alcohol, which led to assault and other minor crimes.

The police had to intervene several times. For example, a 19-year-old was discovered with marijuana and a invited shot gun near children. In addition, three highly alcoholic young people had to be taken into custody until they could be transferred to their legal guardians. Overall, the missions and crimes found remained at a low level, which is a good news for the organizers and the visitors.
