Drunk driver causes chaos in Burg: Police raise the alarm!
There have been some criminal incidents in Burg in the last week that could raise public safety awareness. In particular, the two cases of drunk driving and the problems with e-scooters should be examined in more detail here.
On July 4, 2025, a 65-year-old Mazda driver was reported by an attentive witness from Ihleburg on Parchauer Chaussee. The police check revealed that he was driving with a blood alcohol level of 1.28. After a breath alcohol test, a blood sample was ordered and his driver's license was confiscated. This led to a drunk driving charge, and the legal consequences could be significant, such as [sachsen-anhalt.de](https://www.sachsen-anhalt.de/bs/pressemitigungen/polizei?tx_tsarssinclude_pi1%5Baction%5D=single &tx_tsarssinclude_pi1%5Bcontroller%5D=Base&tx_tsarssinclude_pi1%5Buid%5D=582584&cHash=fc9715efcf87c334c2dd46e4de8da1d3) describes.
E-scooters without compulsory insurance
On July 5, 2025, police officers discovered an e-scooter driver on Bahnhofstrasse in Burg whose insurance had expired. The 36-year-old man from Lostau stated that he had simply forgotten the insurance. Here, too, there was a complaint about a violation of the compulsory insurance law. This shows that the use of e-scooters, which are now an integral part of the cityscape, brings not only practical but also legal challenges, as anwalt.de explains.
It becomes particularly critical when e-scooters are driven under the influence of alcohol. According to current regulations, similar blood alcohol limits apply to e-scooters as to drivers. From just 0.5 per mille it becomes a misdemeanor, and from 1.1 per mille it can lead to criminal prosecution for drunk driving. This not only means fines, but also possible entries in the certificate of good conduct and the revocation of the driving license, as kanzleiwehner.de urgently reports.
Sedition at Silbersee
These days caused excitement not only in the transport sector. At Silbersee in Gommern OT Dannigkow, a 26-year-old woman from Magdeburg became aware of a group that was displaying imperial war flags and swastika flags. The responsible 20-year-old perpetrator from Grabow was identified, and two hours later a group of three other 20-year-olds from Burg chanted inhumane slogans. In this case, criminal proceedings were initiated for the use of symbols of unconstitutional organizations and incitement to hatred, which once again illuminates the willingness to use violence and intolerance in our society.
In summary, the latest reports show that there are legal boundaries in both road traffic and society that must be strictly observed. The dangers of drinking and the misuse of symbols are relevant for both drivers and e-scooter users. Having a good handle on your own safety can be crucial to avoiding serious consequences. Stay vigilant and promote respectful coexistence in our city!
