Especially on weekends when the weather is good, around 100 mainly young people celebrate on the banks of the Salzach until the early hours of the morning. Music is booming from boxes that you have brought with you, people are drinking, shouting, and some even relieve themselves on the spot. The neighbors are now calling on city policy. to act and, for example, to impose a ban on alcohol. Mayor Preuner can understand the anger, but rejects this request.
Preuner: Municipal ordinance could not be monitored
This would be an ordinance of the municipality and employees of the magistrate would have no legal possibility to check ID cards. “You have to catch the person concerned not only holding a beer bottle, but directly drinking. And how do you want to find out his personal details if you do not have the legal option to request ID? ”Says Preuner.
Mayor wants to strip the Salzach-Ufer more intensively
Instead, it has now been discussed with the neighbors that the police should intensify checks on the quay. The trees were also cut out to make dark corners brighter and safer. Preuner hopes that this will calm things down on the quay.
