New Year's Eve without bang: where fireworks are prohibited in Calw!

In Calw, burning fireworks on New Year's Eve is prohibited in certain areas. This ban concerns both the city center and areas near churches, hospitals as well as children's and old people's homes. The city administration pointed out the citizens of the increased risk of fire, especially in the historic old towns with half -timbered houses. The ban includes fireworks of class II, which include rockets, enthusiasts and bright bodies.

The ban is not limited to December 31 and January 1, but also applies beyond the existing ban on burning from 2nd to December 30th. The affected areas in the historic old town include the following: Unteres Ledereck, in the Biegel, Mühlweg, Burgsteige, Altburger Straße, in the Zwinger, Stadtgarten, Am Schießberg, in the duck Schnabel, Badstraße, Hermann-Hesse-Platz, Nikolausbrücke, Marktstraße, Sparkassenplatz, Bischofstraße and Nagolduferweg. On the outside of this ban, there is still a ban on burning in adjacent property areas for half -timbered houses. In the event of violations, a fine of up to 50,000 euros threatens. It is also pointed out that fireworks can be particularly stressful for animals, since they react more sensitive to noise, such as Schwarzwaelder-bote.de reported.

fireworks bans in Baden-Württemberg

In Baden-Württemberg, many municipalities and cities restrict the fire of rockets and firecrackers over New Year's Eve. Minister Peter Hauk calls for animals and the environment. According to a survey, around three quarters of people in Baden-Württemberg want to do without private New Year's Eve. The well -known criticisms of fireworks include the high environmental pollution, injuries to emergency rooms by exploding firecrackers, garbage through fireworks, fine dust emissions and the fear that can trigger loud bangs in animals and refugees.

Agriculture Minister Hauk appeals to animal owners not to leave their animals alone and create noise -protected environments. In several cities, abrasion regulations apply in areas that are susceptible to the African Swine plague (ASP). Particularly noteworthy is the ban on fireworks in the entire old town of Herrenberg, a ban on burning in the case of fire -sensitive buildings in Sindelfingen, Schorndorf and Geislingen as well as a strict ban on fireworks around Hohenstaufen Castle and the Solitude Castle in Stuttgart.
