Safe on the go: weekly market in Lübben with free bicycle coding!

Lübben, Deutschland - On June 25, 2025, Lübben becomes the meeting point for bicycle lovers and citizens who want to find out more about theft protection and crime prevention. On this day there is a weekly market from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., in which the city of Lübben, together with the police and the White Ring, has interesting offers. Of course it is also an ideal place to acquire fresh products and regional delicacies.

One of the main attractions will be the free bicycle coding that the police offer. This simple measure has a major purpose: it facilitates the tracking of stolen property and helps to handle the damage settlement in the event of theft more quickly and easily. The coding takes place by police officers who engrave an individual letter/number combination in the bicycle frame. Unfortunately, some special bicycles, such as ultra-light wheels and those with carbon, kevlar or titanium frames, are excluded from the coding because they cannot be edited.
