"Of course, at first the anxious question is whether there are still the last guests in the marquee," said Rainer Weiskirchen, press spokesman for the fire department in the Neustadt-Aisch Bad Windsheim district, to

However, that was not the case, the festival had already ended.
Only a few people were still out and about in the area.
