Halloween 2025 in the Wesel district: More missions, quiet night!
Halloween night meant a little more work for the police in the Wesel district than last year. From the evening of October 31st until the early hours of November 1st, the emergency services were activated a total of 66 times. This is a slight increase compared to the 59 missions last year. The most common reasons for the operations were the burning of firecrackers and pyrotechnic objects, which also led to an increased police presence in other cities, such as Munich. Munich police reported 253 operations, with the focus being on disturbances of the peace and damage to property. Around 100 young people set off pyrotechnics here and ensured an increased police presence at Human Rights Square.
In the Wesel district, the focus of operations was on controlling fireworks. Despite the increased number of incidents, the police's overall assessment for this Halloween night remains positive: there were only two reports of assault, with no serious injuries. In addition, 24 people were sent off and one person was temporarily taken into custody. Damage to property was also limited with only two cases reported, which involved damaged entrance doors. However, the general mood was peaceful, despite minor scuffles and the excitement often associated with the festival.
Security situation especially at Halloween
Overall, the police in the Wesel district can look back on a quiet night, which is in contrast to events in other cities, as was seen in Munich, for example. The emergency services had to take action there due to 33 reported physical injuries - although here too, all of those injured were only slightly injured. This shows that there was also positive behavior on the part of the celebrants, which was expressly mentioned by the police.
Some citizens might ask themselves whether the overall peaceful course of the night in the Wesel district is an expression of increasing security awareness. A good proportion of revelers appear to have taken previous warnings about potential dangers seriously, which is reflected in the reduced number of serious incidents.
Overall, the 2025 Halloween season in the Wesel district was characterized by a slight increase in operations, but also by a positive safety record. The ideal compromise between celebration and security seems to have been achieved here, which is a reason for satisfaction for both the police and the citizens.
