Cottbus celebrates: City festival attracts tens of thousands despite safety precautions!

The annual city festival in Cottbus started on Friday, and the city center turns into a colorful hustle and bustle. Until Sunday, the organizers can expect tens of thousands of visitors who can look forward to a multifaceted program of rides and stands who are distributed around the Altmarkt, the Stadthalle, the Puschkinpark and the Oberkirche. The cultural program is presented on a total of seven stages and offers something for every taste.

But in all the festive mood, the safety precautions are not to be neglected. This year the city center is secured with concrete bollards and trucks to ensure the safety of visitors. The police and regulatory office observe the festivities closely and are ready when problems arise. A central point of contact for all questions about security and order is the security center at Berliner Straße 154, which is open to guests.

safety precautions in the focus

In accordance with the guidelines for security concepts at major events that were developed by the working group of the municipalities, among other things, the city ensures that all the necessary measures are taken. The orientation horizon for major events was created with the aim of supporting the municipalities in the planning, approval, implementation and follow -up of events. These precautions apply in particular to events with increased risk potential, which impressively illustrates the city festival.

Another important point is the ban on drugs and the support of dangerous objects on the festival area. If you adhere to these rules, you can enjoy the weekend to the fullest. So that visitors arrive safely, the traffic restrictions in and around the city center are comprehensive. Parking is severely restricted, which is why the journey by public transport is recommended.

The recommendations for setting up coordination bodies also ensure a good feeling of security. These bodies include all relevant offices and authorities that work hand in hand when implementing the safety precautions. In Cottbus, this is taken particularly seriously to recognize and react to possible dangers at an early stage.
