Safe journey to the Simson meeting: Police increase presence in Zwickau!

It's a busy day in Zwickau today! Until Sunday, the city's airfield will be the venue for Germany's largest Simson meeting, which has become a permanent tradition. However, following last year's scandalous incidents, which resulted in numerous crimes and right-wing extremist activities, this year's event will feature an increased police presence.

The security situation is serious, as in July 2024 there were disturbing incidents at the similar event, such as breaches of the peace, attempted grievous bodily harm and even arson. Analysis of evidence showed that right-wing extremist stickers and T-shirts were distributed, and participants repeatedly performed the Nazi salute. In order to prevent such incidents, a detailed security notice was issued, which also integrates the security concept of the organizer Dominic Wölfe. In addition, additional forces from the Saxon riot police and other authorities are on duty to ensure peace and order. Tagesschau reports that the Zwickau police department provided advice and provided experts specifically for arrival and departure traffic. This will be monitored more closely on Reichenbacher Straße, as traffic disruptions are to be expected there.

A program for everyone

Despite the security measures, Dominic Wuerfel is optimistic about the event. He is looking forward to numerous participants and an exciting program that, in addition to fantastic machines, also includes some attractions such as a stunt show and a wheelie simulator. The moderation is taken over by Dr. Emkus, who will guide the audience through the events. The event to celebrate the popular Simson motorcycles is intended to be a festival of joy not just for the fans, but for everyone.

While the security situation continues to be monitored, everyone involved is working hard to make the preparations a success. So far, Dominic cube's good hand seems to be paying off. It remains to be seen whether the Simson meeting will pass without incident, but the mobilization of security teams is a clear sign! MDR is sure that all precautions have been taken to create a peaceful atmosphere in which participants can enjoy their passion for the iconic Simson scooters.
