Chaos at the district fire brigade festival: Bar tent clears after overcrowding!

On July 19, 2025, a serious security incident occurred at the district fire brigade festival in Bildstein, which ensured a large -scale commitment of the police during the night. Overcrowding of the barzel meant that the organizer decided at around 10:00 p.m. not to allow any more guests. This decision led to aggressive reactions of those present.

The situation escalated when the evacuation of the bargent was arranged at 11:00 p.m. The police were sent to enforce this measure with a large contingent. There were dangerous situations during the evacuation because many visitors crowded. In some cases, the police were forced to use physical strength to clear the evacuation. Emergency services were also pressed and thrown at drinks.

serious incidents and arrests

A particularly serious incident occurred when a festival visitor attacks a police officer physically and was then temporarily arrested. During the turbulent evacuation campaign, a visitor suffered serious facial injuries from a blow with a beer glass from a heavily alcoholic woman. Furthermore, another man was reported for National Socialist re -activation. Another incident occurred when a visitor gave violent access to the marquee despite the access lock.

The evacuation of the bargent was only completely completed around 1:00 a.m. of the following day. The security problems during such big events are an important point that is becoming increasingly important. In order to take more effective measures here, the Red Cross offers training courses that deal with the behavior of people at major events.
