Major exercise at Starnberg high school: Police train for emergencies!
On Wednesday, November 5, 2025, the Starnberg high school will be the backdrop for a large-scale police exercise. As part of this exercise, various life-threatening scenarios are simulated, including a shooting spree and operations with different aggressors and different types of weapons. The exercise, which will last from 7 a.m. to around 4:30 p.m., will be carried out by units from the Central Emergency Services (ZED) from Fürstenfeldbruck and officers from the Starnberg police. At the same time, the police announce that it will probably be loud in the area around the high school and that numerous emergency services will be present. Residents were informed of these circumstances in advance so that there were no unexpected surprises. According to merkur.de, the safety of the population is guaranteed and “there is no reason for citizens to worry”.
Headmaster Thomas Volz emphasizes the importance of this exercise, which not only provides the participating emergency services with realistic training, but can also provide valuable insights for real emergencies. In order to increase the simulation reality, made-up “wounded people” and practice ammunition are used. There may be temporary traffic disruptions around the high school, which the police also note. Over 80 residents were informed in advance so that they could prepare for the special circumstances. Students and teachers are not allowed to enter the school grounds during the exercise. The secretariat will only be available by telephone from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on the day of the exercise, which the school administration has clearly communicated.
Preparations and general conditions
The exercise is part of a comprehensive training program that also includes other police units in the Munich district. Among other things, similar exercises took place at the Therese-Giehse-Realschule in Unterschleißheim and a large-scale exercise near the subway station in Fröttmaning, which will be carried out from November 4th to 7th. These large-scale training measures not only serve to provide practical training for the emergency services, but also to test the interaction of various organizational units, which is vital for survival in crisis situations. Sueddeutsche.de reports on these elaborate preparations and emphasizes that shots and “wounded people” will be visible during the exercise.
The police are calling on the public to remain calm despite the loud exercise and the large number of emergency services. This is part of a well-thought-out training process that ultimately benefits all citizens. Thomas Volz and his team appreciate the support of residents and are committed to highlighting the importance of this exercise.
