- Before the G7 summit at Schloss Elmau near Garmisch-Partenkirchen, the police want to personally visit residents along the arrival and departure routes of the heads of state and government next week.

The G7 planning team announced on Friday that there could be closures and impairments along this so-called protocol route.

Residents and businesses should be prepared for this.

In addition, around a dozen officers want to identify possible danger spots during their visits from May 24th to probably 25th - such as piles of wood, mailboxes or garbage can houses that could serve as possible hiding places for dangerous objects.

Solutions should then be sought with the residents to remedy the situation.
