Wiesbaden intervenes: Lichter show instead of fireworks at the turn of the year!

At the turn of the year 2024/2025, a light show in front of the Kurhaus will take place for the first time in Wiesbaden, which will replace the traditional fireworks. This decision follows discussions about the contemporary fireworks, which have come into focus, among other things, because of their negative effects on the environment and security. Fireworks contribute significantly to air pollution by releasing toxic chemicals and fine dust, and especially health damage to asthmatics are not to be neglected. In addition, the noise of fireworks leads to stress in animals and can panic and behavioral disorders.

The city of Wiesbaden has therefore taken measures to increase security. This means that the guiding and burning of fireworks as well as bringing large bags and backpacks in the area of ​​the "bowling green" are prohibited. Security controls by city and state police are carried out to search bags and backpacks, while during the light show there is an increased police presence and support from a private security service. This security concept is based on positive experiences from previous years, such as associationsbuero.de
