Neuwied celebrates quiet Deichstadt festival: Police surprised by peace!
The Deichstadtfest, one of the highlights in Neuwied's event calendar, once again attracted tens of thousands of visitors to the city center this year. Over four days, the guests experienced a colorful program that particularly impressed with a variety of musical performances. The festival has established itself as a popular tradition since it was first held in November 1979, when the newly designed Luisenplatz was inaugurated. The great acceptance by both locals and visitors led to the one-off event becoming an annual event that enjoys great popularity. Around 100 hours of music from various genres and numerous artists from home and abroad created an atmospheric atmosphere, as Neuwied.de reports.
Speaking of atmosphere: The Neuwied police were pleased and surprised about the quiet weekend. Traditionally, a celebration of this magnitude brings with it a higher likelihood of disruption, theft or vandalism. Interestingly, the police were largely spared from any notable incidents this year. This shows that the security precautions required for major events worked well, as [Rhein-Zeitung](https://www.rhein-zeitung.de/lokales/kreis-neuwied/neuwieder-polizei-ueberrascht-vom- Ruheen-wochenende_arid-4055355.html) describes.
Effective security concepts
To ensure safety at major events, there are special regulations and guidelines in North Rhine-Westphalia that are covered by various technical laws. The orientation framework for major events, developed by an interdepartmental working group, now offers a structured basis. This framework aims to support municipalities in the planning, implementation and follow-up of events. The resulting security concepts are of great importance, especially at events with increased risk potential. A systematic follow-up is carried out here in order to promote continuous improvements in security standards, as IM.NRW describes.
Especially with regard to the Deichstadt Festival, it is clear that good planning and safety concepts have to go hand in hand in order to create a positive festival atmosphere. In addition to the almost stress-free implementation this year, it is worth taking into account the experiences from the police record and the orientation framework so that festive celebrations like this can continue to be celebrated carefree and safely in the future.
