More than 100 fires and rescue operations are the balance of New Year's Eve in Frankfurt.
This is not surprising when you look at videos from the Zeil.
Frankfurt – According to tradition, the fireworks on New Year's Eve are supposed to drive away the evil spirits of the old year.
Spirits living in the here and now are arguing more and more intensely about whether this is still up-to-date.
After the pictures, especially from big cities like Frankfurt, the debate should only get more heated.
Fire brigade, rescue service and police forces were in constant use.
The balance sheet from New Year's Eve in Frankfurt is frightening: 24 fires, 3 rescue services and 34 rescue service operations between 10 p.m. and midnight, 77 fires and 67 rescue service operations in the first two hours of the new year, reports fnp.de.

What is noticeable on videos that are circulating on social networks such as TikTok: the inhibition threshold is becoming lower and lower.
Missiles flying across the street are becoming more and more commonplace.
A man on the Zeil in Frankfurt literally shoots down the rocket.
A TikTok video shows him kicking a rocket away from himself with his foot.
Surprisingly, the rocket does not fly into the sky, but across the Zeil.

New Year's Eve in Frankfurt: "Even stupid people can buy rockets and firecrackers"
At that moment, apparently only the rocket kicker himself thought it was a good idea, the rest of the faces of the surrounding people reveal other feelings.
A user comments under the video on TikTok: "Even stupid people can buy rockets and firecrackers.
Sad but true..."

In another video from the Zeil, the reaction of the people is not necessarily associated with a relaxed party mood.
A missile shoots under a police car and straight into a crowd.
As relaxed as New Year’s Eve has been in recent years due to the corona restrictions and the associated ban on firecrackers, it was the opposite at the turn of the year 2023. The demand for fireworks in Frankfurt was great.
Climate protection and animal protection, millions of euros burned during inflation and the countless hours of work by the rescue services, which according to reports were also attacked in many places, will be hotly debated again in a year at the latest.
Until then, Frankfurt and the Zeil will be comparatively calm.
