The popular event "Kinzigtal Total" will not take place in 2025. This was announced on March 26, 2025. The reason for the cancellation is considerable security risks that could occur in connection with the implementation of the event. In particular, the use of vehicles ensures alarm mood, so that the security situation must be assessed as too tense. This was taken into account after the number of extremist crimes in Germany has achieved a new maximum value, which has a negative impact on the planning of major events. So reports fr.de

The security concept that is necessary for the 80 km route cannot be implemented as desired by September 2025. District Administrator proudly made it clear that the compilation of such a concept is not sustainable both logistically and financially. The estimated additional costs in the six -digit range are not portable for the current household of the district. Despite the situation, a spokesman for the district emphasized that there was currently no acute danger.

security measures and effects

The events in Aschaffenburg, Mannheim and the tragedy at a Christmas market in Magdeburg strengthen the concerns about security at major events. For these reasons, a comprehensive risk analysis is essential to ensure the safety of the participants. The organization is already checking measures for the next implementation in 2026, since the event is no longer possible in its previous form due to the current security policy environment, such as Tagesschau.de reported.

In addition to "Kinzigtal Total", other events in the region, such as "Fahr zur Aar" in the Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis and the cherry blossom festival in Marburg, must be canceled due to increased security requirements and the non-portable financial burdens. This illustrates the current problem in the event organization: protection against possible attacks is becoming increasingly expensive and complex.

The organization team of the event will now deal intensively with the planning for 2026, hoping to develop a sustainable security concept. The future of "Kinzigtal Total" remains uncertain, while the security situation in Germany continues to worsen, which according to eventmanager.de also documented in the official guidelines for event reliability is.
