Tons of garbage: Würzburg closes the party mile - "border crossed"

As a result of many parties, garbage has been piling up on the banks of the Main in Würzburg for weeks.

The city has now responded and closes the bank at the weekend.

Würzburg - The same pictures have been on the banks of the Main in Würzburg * for weeks. Garbage as far as the eye can see. No matter if bottles, packaging or other waste. People celebrate extensively on the banks of the Main in the evening. And that without properly disposing of your rubbish after the party. The garden department of the Lower Franconian city stopped working last weekend in protest against the behavior of the people and demonstratively left the garbage on the banks of the Main until Monday. The strike was announced on several posters. It was written on it: “We have this weekend off! Your city gardeners and city cleaners ”. The garden authority wanted to draw attention to the huge mountains of garbage on site. In Munich, too, there was recently trouble with the pollution * of the banks on the Isar.

Würzburg: Blocking of the area at the old crane by general decree

In addition, the city of Würzburg reacted by closing the area at Alter Kranen to the public between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. on the weekend of June 12th and 13th.

And that's not all: the suspension will also apply on the coming weekend - June 19 and 20.

This was achieved through a general decree.

The police and security staff made sure that people obeyed the rules.

As the police in Lower Franconia reported, the evacuation of the restricted area was peaceful and without any aggression against the officers.

In Munich, on the other hand, there were sometimes brutal attacks * on police officers in the English Garden a few weeks ago.

Würzburg: The city reacts to the large party groups

In addition to the masses of garbage, the city of Würzburg also reacted to the fact that the party groups had become bigger and bigger in recent weeks and that the Corona * rules such as keeping your distance were increasingly difficult to implement.

In addition, several residents complained that their night's sleep was massively disrupted by the partying people.

The city emphasized that the protection of local residents was an absolute priority.

The catering in the affected area is not affected by the blockage - guests are still allowed to stay there after 10 p.m.

Unfortunately, the limit has been exceeded

Lord Mayor Christian Schuchardt

Christian Schuchardt, Lord Mayor of the City of Würzburg, vented his anger at the degenerate parties: “Unfortunately, the border has been crossed. Have fun outdoors, yes, violations of corona restrictions and partying at the expense of local residents - no. ”If the measures introduced do not lead to the desired success, further tightening will follow, as the city of Würzburg emphasizes on its website.
