Berlin Fire Brigade: The “State of Emergency on New Year’s Eve” has begun
New Year’s Eve started quieter than in previous years in Berlin. The fire brigade is in the usual “state of emergency at the end of the year”, as the helpers say, from 7:00 p.m. According to a spokesperson, there have been no special incidents so far. Police, who are deployed with about 2,900 people, made a similar statement. On the streets of Wedding, Kreuzberg and Neukölln, firecrackers and rocket fire could be heard over and over again at night. Compared to previous years, the noise level was initially limited.
At the Brandenburg Gate, where hundreds of thousands of people celebrate New Year’s Eve, it initially remained practically empty. The high-rise fireworks that usually light there had been canceled. From there, ZDF will broadcast its New Year’s Eve show live, in which musicians such as Jürgen Drews or the band Karat should also appear, but without an audience. (dpa)
