Police Reports Calm Start to New Year's Eve - Hesse welcomes New Year’s Eve with calm celebrations and scattered fireworks
New Year’s Eve celebrations across the regions of Hesse have begun quietly, with authorities reporting no major incidents so far. Fireworks have already been lighting up the sky for hours ahead of the main event at midnight. Police across the region remain on alert but describe the evening as calm.
A police spokesperson in Fulda noted that fireworks at this time of year are typical. Meanwhile, in Gießen, an officer expressed hope that the night would pass without any disturbances. No single organiser was responsible for a statewide event, as celebrations took place locally instead.
Various groups managed individual gatherings, such as Das Sahnehäubchen for the Kurhaus Wiesbaden children’s club and Primus Linie for a Frankfurt cruise. The Hessisches Landestheater Marburg also hosted its own event. Despite the scattered activities, police confirmed no significant issues had arisen by late evening.
As midnight approaches, Hesse’s celebrations continue without disruption. Fireworks remain widespread, but authorities maintain that the situation is under control. The region’s police forces will stay vigilant through the night.
