Updated regulations concerning knives and e-scooters at Oktoberfest (Wiesn)
Preparations for this year's Oktoberfest are in full swing, with organisers announcing a series of measures aimed at ensuring the safety and enjoyment of all attendees.
In line with previous years, entry controls will be in place for the fenced-off festival grounds. However, this year, restricted bag sizes will be enforced. The security concept for the event has been set, with a particular focus on crimes against sexual self-determination. Any form of harassment or violence in this area is not tolerated at Oktoberfest.
The police vice-president has emphasised a high level of security for the event, with proven measures having been sharpened. To combat crimes such as "upskirting" (photography under Dirndl skirts), such activities will be pursued, and offenders can face up to two years imprisonment.
In an effort to maintain order and prevent accidents, a ban on drones and other flying objects has been put in place around the Wiesn. Additionally, e-scooters may no longer be parked or rented around the Wiesn after 5:00 PM, due to unauthorized rides by drunken festival-goers. This new regulation aims to prevent severe injuries caused by unauthorized rides.
The consumption of cannabis is prohibited on the entire festival grounds. For those affected by harassment or violence, mobile phone charging stations will be available in the tents.
In exciting news for some, subscribers to a specific 95.5 newsletter have the chance to win an exclusive Wiesn table, which includes food, drinks, and rides. However, the organisation offering this opportunity has not been explicitly identified in the provided search results.
Experts consider the risk level for Oktoberfest as high due to its significance and popularity. Despite this, no concrete indications of attack scenarios have been found for the event.
With these measures in place, organisers are confident that this year's Oktoberfest will be a safe and enjoyable experience for all.
