Taylor Swift comes: Police are preparing for a visitors to visitors in Munich

The anticipation for the upcoming concerts of Taylor Swift in Munich is great. On July 27th and 28th, the famous singer will appear in the Olympic Stadium, and the effects on the city and its infrastructure are considerable.

an increase in visitors: the expectations of the police

The Munich police are well prepared for the major event. Gordon Winkel, the spokesman for the police, explained that increased police presence on both concert days. "We expect a high rush, especially from young female fans, the so -called Swifties," said Winkel. This shows how great the interest in this event is, which will not only attract local but also numerous foreign visitors.

preparation for possible challenges

In order to prepare for a potential overcrowding of the Olympic Center train station, the U3 and U8 subway lines are strengthened every 5 minutes. Maximilian Kaltner, press spokesman for the Munich Transport Society (MVG), informs that the train station may be blocked for a short time to ensure security and order. "We ask for patience," added Kaltner.

Community cohesion of fans

The "Swifties" are known for their passionate support of their favorite artist. In Gelsenkirchen, where the first concerts of this tour of Germany took place, the fans showed themselves particularly creatively by temporarily renaming the city into "Swiftkirchen" and transforming the center in "Taylor Town". This illustrates how an artist can mobilize the community and create a feeling of togetherness.

safety measures in focus

In addition to the increased police presence, the security strategy will also include numerous other aspects. "We will use more forces in the vicinity of the entrance to regulate the influx and monitor the security situation," explains Winkel. It is particularly important to note that camping in the Olympic Park is prohibited according to house rules. This could lead to tensions with the particularly enthusiastic fans.

A look at the future

The concerts of Taylor Swift are not only a highlight in this year's event calendar, but also continue a trend that combines great artists and complexity of the security measures. Experience from previous events, such as in Gelsenkirchen, will help to adapt the security measures in Munich accordingly. It remains to be seen which teachings the city will pull out of this event in order to use it for future major events.

The two shows in the Olympic Stadium are just around the corner, and the preparations show how important these cultural events can be for the community and the local economy. Whether for visitors or locals, the anticipation for Taylor Swift's music brings people together and leaves traces in the city of Munich.
