Vandalism in Teltower Park: Bald budget in danger!

Teltower Park, Deutschland - In Teltow Park, vandalism has significantly clouded the joy of newly implemented projects, including the game cable car and a DISC golf system. Hardly any damage has already been discovered after the opening ceremony: vandalistic actions were recognizable at the newly installed plate of the cable car. Both projects that were realized with great financial and human expenses from the 2024 community budget are now broken and must be repaired at the expense of the city. "This will be expensive," explained Beate Rietz, the 1st deputy of the city of Teltow, and emphasized the severity of the destruction that was reported and the ongoing investigations by the police.

The city plans to specifically combat vandalism through education and calls for reason via social media. Experts also advise to integrate youth groups into repair projects in order to promote a sense of responsibility for the facilities. Historical studies show that participation and the feeling of personal responsibility can contribute dramatically to reduce vandalism. However, the approach requires time and continuous efforts to make long -term changes in behavior. More information on the incidents can be found on www.stadtblatt-online.de .
