Chaos after concerts: Erfurt cathedral square sinks in the trash!

After the big concerts of Clueso and Sido at Erfurt's cathedral square last weekend, the city of Erfurt complained in an open letter about the remaining mountains of garbage. The sight on Sunday morning was anything but gratifying: over 50 garbage bags were necessary to remove the chaos that prevailed outside the event area. According to MDR , four employees of the garden and cemetery office were used for five hours to clean the devastated area.

The pet of the Petersberg was heavily trampled, while the newly created slope protection and the freshly sized lawns were considerably damaged. In such a state, preserving the landscape is a challenge. In order to get the waste problem under control, the city had set up large and glass containers in advance and attached banners to the dummy containers. Nevertheless, many visitors remained careless and left nature after celebrations.

An effective strategy also represents the proven barrier of the forest, which will be carried out again in 2025. Thus, the success of the newly sagged areas should at least partially be secured. The city again appeals to the visitors not to enter these freshly created areas so as not to harm their environment unnecessarily and not to endanger the success of the measures.

sustainability in focus

From the aspect of sustainability, it becomes clear that not only the city, but also the organizers are obliged to promote sustainable waste management. Responsible use of garbage is an important topic in the event industry, which should focus more on the focus in the coming years. sustainable Event Solutions emphasizes how important it is to strengthen the efforts in the area of waste avoidance and management through information campaigns and suitable facilities.

We are all asked to be able to enjoy our beautiful places in the future. Together we manage to protect the Erfurt nature and celebrate the festivals to the fullest!
