Vandalism in Sangerhausen: Hally-Gally play equipment has to give way!

renewed vandalism on the playground on Wilhelm-Koenen-Straße in Sangerhausen ensures sad faces among the children and parents. As the city administration reports, the popular “Hally-Gally” play equipment had to be broken down due to significant damage. The willful destruction not only ruins the mechanics of the device sustainably, but also throws a shadow on the joy of the little playground visitors.

The "Hally-Gally", which was set up two years ago with financial support from Sparkasse Mansfeld-Südharz, had a value of around 9,000 euros. The incident is part of a worrying series of vandalism acts: a floor trampoline had to be dismantled beforehand because the jump network was cut and the fall protection mats were torn out. Such acts not only endanger the safety of the children, but also cause unnecessary costs, which ultimately have to be borne by all citizens.

review of the repair options

employees of the building yard must already be checked whether a repair of the "hally-gally" is possible. In this context, the city administration calls on the population to send information about the vandalism files to the town hall or the Mansfeld-Südharz police station. Every hint can help determine the perpetrators and increase the safety of the playgrounds.

As part of their appeal to the citizens, the city calls for a respectful way of dealing with the urban playing systems. "Vandalism affects the uses for children and harms our community," said a spokesman for the city administration. It is crucial to protect the public infrastructure so that all children can play carefree.

We hope for the help and understanding of the Sangerhausen population in this matter. Because only together can we ensure that the playgrounds will continue to remain places of joy and security for our children in the future.
