Kassel plans spectacular laser show instead of fireworks on New Year's Eve!

in Kassel is currently being considered at full speed whether a breathtaking laser or light show can illuminate the New Year's Eve celebrations on the next New Year's Eve. The city's great wish is clear: an alternative to the loud fireworks that not only pollutes the air, but also contains the environment!

It remains a mystery whether there is actually a spectacular light show, because those responsible are currently examining the feasibility. The magistrate has been dealing with the explosive topic for over two years. According to a city spokesman, the negotiations are still underway - but there is no final promise. So far, only the marketing team for Kassel has been producing the concept of a New Year's Eve show.

political motivation and legal hurdles

The roots of this initiative are clear: The city council wants to offer the Kasselers an attractive and peaceful alternative. But the legal framework sets the plans of narrow limits. The city cannot introduce a nationwide ban on private fireworks - that would be the task of the entire country. Everyone tried to do without the citizens of foregoing firecrackers and rockets, unfortunately, has so far been more of a shot in the oven.

While Kassel is still hesitating and shy plans are making, Wiesbaden is already celebrating the certainty of a magnificent New Year's Eve gala! Mayor Christiane Hinninger announced an "artistic-media light production", which is supposed to inspire the masses for a full ten minutes. Does this festive spectacle make the Kasseler reduce the popping and cracking? Time will show it!
