Safe through the Advent markets: Bregenz relies on protection concepts
In the run-up to Christmas, the Advent markets in Vorarlberg are a popular destination for many visitors. To ensure the safety of guests, the organizers have developed specific security concepts in various cities. In Bregenz, where the Advent market opened over a week ago, there is a particular focus on ensuring that emergency services can get to the event quickly. For this purpose, escape routes and emergency lanes were set up to allow quick access in an emergency.
Robert Salant from Bregenz City Marketing commented on the safety precautions and noted that the market is particularly popular with families and children. “Thank God this is the exception because we have a strong focus on families and children,” said Salant. Even though things are often busy on the weekends, it is good that problems rarely arise. The prevention measures include not only security personnel, but also a well-organized communicated network.
Effective security strategies
The stalls in Bregenz also report positive experiences. “So far everything is great, the police also walk through the market often,” says Daniela Pirker from the Fellhans company. The presence of the police ensures that stall holders and visitors to the market feel safe.
The security situation is also being paid attention to in Dornbirn. Project manager Marcel Drexel explains that there are generally few riots. The market is patrolled by the city police during the day, while security services provide the necessary security at night. "We don't have the clientele here that you would find in big cities. People come to live the Christmas culture," explains Uwe Marent, a security expert from Lustenau.
The security measures there reflect the high priority given to the Advent markets in the region. Those responsible in Vorarlberg make every effort to create a pleasant and safe atmosphere that is appreciated. With a clear focus on prevention and safety, the traditional markets should continue to be a place for conviviality and joy. For further information on the security concepts, visit vorarlberg.orf.at.
