This measure takes place to ensure the safety of the expected thousands of visitors on the event days from October 19 to 21. In view of the latest incidents in cities such as Solingen and Siegen as well as the generally increasing crime rate, the control of knives and other dangerous objects plays a central role. The Gütersloh police not only intend to strengthen the feeling of security of market visitors, but also to actively act against potential criminals.

Although the figures regarding violent crimes with knives in the Gütersloh district are significantly lower compared to large cities, individual cases still cause considerable concern among the population.
