HOME FESTIVAL IN SPREMBERG: 35,000 partygoers ENJOY SAFETY AND FUN!
In tranquil Spremberg, a town with just 22,000 inhabitants in the Spree-Neiße district, one of the largest folk festivals in southern Brandenburg is currently in full swing. From Friday to Monday, the organizers are hoping for up to 40,000 visitors who can look forward to a diverse program. The first projections already show that around 30,000 to 35,000 guests have already come to the local festival, which is a considerable turnout, especially since security precautions have been significantly increased this year.

Safety is the top priority this year, and not without reason: after past incidents in cities like Mannheim and Munich, the authorities have taken additional measures. Daily briefings took place between the police, public order office and security forces to ensure a safe festival. Fortunately, things have remained quiet so far and, despite the increased security effort, there have been no disruptions. A dismissal was only necessary on three days, which shows that the controls are effective. The organizers and the security service deserve great praise.
A celebration for the whole family
The highlight of the festival is expected this week: On Saturday from 10 p.m. a spectacular laser show with fireworks and music will illuminate Spremberg at night. The anticipation is great, as 12,000 to 14,000 spectators have already announced their arrival to witness this sight at the swan pond. But the local festival has even more to offer: a parade of historical figures and the opening of the fairground park thrilled visitors on the first day of the festival.
It is particularly worth mentioning that the mayor of Spremberg, Christine Herntier, addressed right-wing extremism in the region in her incendiary letter. She calls on citizens to actively address these issues. This gives the local festival not only a festive but also a thoughtful undertone, especially in view of the discourse that has arisen about the increasing ideas of the right-wing extremist scene in the region. and Spiegel report on the current demonstrations against right-wing extremism, which also influence the political climate in Germany.
