No more restrictions: alcohol ban at German Unity Square lifted!
The alcohol ban at the German Unity Square in Wiesbaden will expire on June 30, 2025. This decision was made by the city administration after the legal requirements for continuing the general order were no longer met. The legal office determined that, according to the statements from the state and city police, there was no specific threat to public safety or order. This information comes from [RheinMainVerlag]. WiesbadenAktuell.
The general order, which was based on Section 35 Sentence 2 of the Administrative Procedure Act (VwVfG), was therefore not extended. This means that the consumption of alcohol at the German Unity Square is now permitted again. The legal framework for the previously existing ban was based on the Hessian Law on Public Safety and Order (HSOG), which requires a specific risk situation for the implementation of the regulation. And according to current reports, this assessment is no longer true.
Monitoring the situation
Despite the expiry of the alcohol ban zone, the situation at the site will continue to be closely monitored. The police, regulatory authorities and the Prevention Council are required to evaluate the effects of the repealed regulation. The authorities are prepared accordingly should unsafe conditions develop again.
In the past, problems related to alcohol consumption in public have repeatedly arisen - especially in places where alcohol abuse and associated disorders have been increasingly documented. This is reported by Bitburg. The public order office has already taken strict measures here. In Bitburg, there has been a ban on alcohol in designated public areas since March 1, 2025 in order to proactively combat emerging problems.
The residents at the German Unity Square in Wiesbaden can now hope for a more relaxed atmosphere. The coming summer could allow visitors to enjoy the famous square again without worries, but always with an eye on tact and responsible use of alcohol.
