Wiesbaden is rejoicing in celebration
Wiesbaden, Germany, has taken a pioneering role in event safety with the introduction of innovative barrier systems during the Rheingau Wine Week. Building and Traffic Commissioner Andreas Kowol and Ordnungsdezernentin Maral Koohestanian led the implementation of these measures, which are being used for the first time nationwide.
Andreas Kowol emphasized that modern risk prevention and quality of life on public spaces are not mutually exclusive. He stated that the new access barriers provide the city police with the necessary security to perform their duties reliably and responsively on-site. The barriers create practical prerequisites for effective protection, ensuring that inner-city event areas remain vibrant places.
Maral Koohestanian, on the other hand, highlighted that cultural tradition, joy of life, and security can go hand in hand perfectly. She stated that the new access protection measures are a visible sign of cleverly developed security measures.
The exact types, quantities, and total investment costs of the barrier systems acquired by Wiesbaden have not been detailed in the available data. However, it is known that Wiesbaden has invested around 2.8 million euros in extended access protection for municipal events. The city has acquired 30 Octabloque TRs, 60 Armis One, and 150 Armis Go barrier systems.
The Armis Go is a market novelty introduced in June 2025 and currently the single system with the lowest certified penetration depth on the market. Despite intensified police recommendations, all planned events, including the Rheingau Wine Week, took place as hoped.
A joint walkthrough of the event area was conducted, during which the new barriers were inspected and explained by technical staff to the participants. The Rheingau Wine Week, a staple of the local wine culture, took a ten-day course with over 100 stands offering more than 1,000 wines.
Citizens can contact the responsible department or office with any questions regarding this matter. The Press Office of the State Capital Wiesbaden, located at Schlossplatz 6, 65183 Wiesbaden, published this press release.
Despite the lack of specific information on departmental roles in access protection, it is clear that Wiesbaden is committed to ensuring the safety and enjoyment of its citizens and visitors during large-scale events. The Rheingau Wine Week, with its rich cultural and tourism impact on Wiesbaden's city center, is a prime example of this commitment.
