A new security concept for more protection

This is intended to minimize the security risk and make attending the festival even safer for everyone involved. In discussions with experts from various security areas, strategies and emergency plans were developed that have a direct impact on the organization of the festival.

Cultural highlights and new attractions

Economic decisions and a look into the future
