"It hurts our hearts that we have to end the festival at this point, but safety is our top priority," Andy Barsekow, BR project manager PULS Open Air, is quoted in the press release.
The reason for the decision was a short-term absence of a large number of law enforcement officers.

And some festival fans have even more to criticize than just the cancellation: "How bad can an organization be please?
But don't surprise me, given what you heard from yesterday and tonight... Cashless will be announced the day before.

As an organizer, I have to be prepared for breakdowns and other things... or recognize this in good time...", it also says.
Cancellation at the PULS Open Air: "Staff did not show up" - fans express understanding
Shortly thereafter, the organizers announced more information in another post.
The organizer had been assured of sufficient staff through a service provider, "this staff did not show up." They tried hard to find a replacement - without success.
“Responded absolutely correctly.
It's a pity, but what can you do," was the feedback in the comments.
"Dear Puls Team, don't let the anger of the visitors get to you, it's not your fault," says another person positively.
“I don't understand the statements here and under the other post.
The service provider company did not send the required number of personnel.
Neither pulse nor anyone else can do anything about it.
Only the service company.
Puls certainly didn't twiddle his thumbs and then just cancel.
Of course, it's really a shame that it can't take place, but to say 'never again pulse' or something similar is nonsense!" summarizes another user.
