Cologne Carnival 2023 should have a special security concept
Although the first questions about the 2023 session can already be answered and preparations are in full swing, there are still many points that are unclear. This also includes the course of the session opening in the Kwartier Latäng – around the Zülpicher Platz. There should be clarity on Thursday evening. Then the city of Cologne will officially present the security concept.
One thing is clear: in the future, a private security company from Bergisch Gladbach will ensure security and order. For this the city of Cologne will spend up to 6.3 million euros. “That Concept, of course, it is taken into account that there are sufficient accesses and escape areas. As a regulatory authority, the administration is obliged to protect the health of the revelers and residents there and will take all necessary measures to do so,” the city explained when asked by 24RHEIN.
