Dispute over the Swiftkirchen signs in Gelsenkirchen sparked heated discussions

excitement about damaged "Swiftkirchen" signs in Gelsenkirchen

The visit of superstar Taylor Swift in Gelsenkirchen ensures vertebrae in the city. The newly attached colorful “Swiftkirchen” local signs have already caused a stir because some of them were damaged or even stolen. However, it remains unclear whether the thieves are real “swifties”. Sandra Falkenauer, head of city marketing, emphasized that some signs had already disappeared, even though they were hung at a relatively large height to prevent thefts.

The 30 “Swiftkirchen” local signs were originally attached to the city center of Gelsenkirchen in early July after a student started a petition to rename the city for the three concerts of the US singer. Despite the positive intentions, the signs were not received positively by all residents. Some were over glued, others commented on the action on social media and emphasized that the city had more important problems.

city demands local patriotism and common sense

In response to the negative comments on social media, city marketing published a contribution on Facebook. In it, the population was called to show local patriotism and common sense. Despite the existing problems in Gelsenkirchen, it is important to present yourself positively, especially against the background of global attention from the Swift concerts.

The concerts of Taylor Swift on July 17th, 18th and 19th will attract a large audience of around 200,000 fans in Gelsenkirchen. Further appearances by the singer are planned for Hamburg and Munich. The tension increases whether the "Swiftkirchen" signs remain undamaged by then or whether further incidents will occur.
