Shock in Edigheim: Two bars closed due to noise complaints!
In Ludwigshafen-Edigheim, an incident involving two restaurants is causing a stir. On October 25, 2025, the Municipal Enforcement Service (KVD) closed both restaurants due to massive violations of restaurant law. The reason for the inspection was noise complaints from residents, which had been voiced repeatedly for a while. According to Metropoljournal, the officers entered at around 12:40 a.m., but the The 42-year-old operator was extremely unreasonable and tried to evade control. He fled into his restaurant and locked the door, which resulted in the police having to be called out.
During the subsequent inspection, not only loud music was found in the first restaurant, but also two underage teenagers and illegal slot machines without a legal name. A responsible supervisor was not on site that evening. In the second restaurant, officers discovered further deficiencies, including a blocked emergency exit and the lack of a drinks menu. After these serious discoveries, the KVD closed both bars and secured several gaming machines. The city administration is now examining the withdrawal of the operator's restaurant license.
Background of the complaints
The noise complaints that led to this inspection were raised on September 21, 2025, when the police and the KVD were called to the restaurant because of loud music. At that time, too, several children under the age of three were present, and the operator, a 41-year-old, was initially unwilling to cancel the event. Although he later relented and began turning guests out, one guest was taken into custody after he refused to leave the location. Such incidents have apparently reached such a level that drastic measures are now required. According to ludwigshafen.de, the KVD had previously been on site due to similar complaints.
Legal consequences and noise protection
The issue of noise pollution is a hot topic that affects many catering establishments. An example shows that lawsuits to stop noise emissions, especially in residential areas, are not uncommon. A ruling from Offenburg, which condemns an operator to refrain from noise levels above 40 dB(A) at night, illustrates how seriously such complaints can be taken. The Kotz law firm shows that courts take the protection of residents from excessive noise emissions seriously and take appropriate measures.
The current situation in Ludwigshafen-Edigheim could not only have consequences for the operator, but also for the neighborhood, which may be affected by the noise pollution. It remains to be seen how things will develop and whether there will be a rethink in terms of noise protection.
