Security measures at the Duderstadt Christmas meeting after amoking!

After the tragic incident in Magdeburg, in which several people died by an amocray on the Christmas market, the city of Duderstadt took immediate security measures. The Duderstadt Christmas meeting, which opened on Saturday, December 22, 2024, remains openly open, but special security measures have been taken. Before the entrances to the market, vans are available to prevent vehicles from passing through the crowd. This was confirmed by Markus Ludolph, spokesman for the Duderstadt police. The police have strengthened their presence to ensure the safety of visitors, such as reported.

The Göttingen police department is currently examining the security situation of Christmas markets in the region and will adjust the measures if necessary. Tanja Wulff-Bruhn, President of the Police Directorate, emphasized the sensitivity to the current events and the need to strengthen the existing security measures if necessary. Regardless of this situation, the general police presence on event premises and neuralgic points remains increased in order to guarantee the safety of the festival visitors.

The Duderstadt Christmas meeting opened on November 27, 2024 and offers a festive atmosphere in the historic city center of Duderstadt until December 22nd. Visitors can look forward to a picturesque backdrop, which is surrounded by carefully restored half -timbered houses. The market invites you to enjoy mulled wine in a convivial round or try delicious sausages. The highlight of the Christmas market is the advent calendar in the historic town hall, in which a new window is illuminated every day with a sparkling star, as Fachwerk5eck emphasized.
