Germany's BKA marks 75 years with high-profile ceremony in Wiesbaden
Germany's Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) will celebrate its 75th anniversary this week. A formal ceremony is scheduled for Thursday, March 12, at Wiesbaden's Kurhaus, with top officials in attendance.
The event will draw high-profile guests, including Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Bundesinnenminister Alexander Dobrindt and BKA President Holger Münch will also join the celebrations.
Minor traffic delays are expected near Paulinenstraße and Christian-Zeil-Straße between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. as preparations take place. Temporary partial road closures may be introduced if needed, though full shutdowns are unlikely. Further disruptions could occur later in the day. Between 4:30 p.m. and 8 p.m., attendees leaving the venue may cause additional delays around Sonnenberger Straße, Paulinenstraße, and Christian-Zeil-Straße.
The ceremony marks a significant milestone for the BKA. Officials have advised drivers to plan for possible hold-ups in the area. The event will conclude with attendees departing by early evening.
