fireworks bans and controls

In preparation for the turn of the year, numerous cities in the Bavarian Untermain region have taken measures to ensure security during New Year's Eve. Böller ban zones have been set up, especially near sensitive places, such as churches and hospitals. There are no specific zones in Aschaffenburg, but the nationwide regulations are clear: the burning of fireworks near endangered buildings, such as half -timbered houses and locks, is strictly prohibited. According to Primavera24 [here] (https://www.primavera24.de/aktuelles/knallfrei-ins-neue year), the police and regulatory service are increasingly carried out to ensure that the regulations are observed. Violations can become expensive, with fines of up to 50,000 euros, and in the event of illegal fireworks, even impression is threatened.

The New Year's Eve itself has mostly been peaceful in recent years, despite a series of missions that ranged from small fires to disturbances and disputes. In 2024, the police also recorded numerous incidents related to fireworks, which again fueled the discussion about the dangers and possible bans of fireworks. With the increase in security measures and firecrackers, the cities seem to be willing to get the risks under control and create a safer environment for everyone.
