"On the entire Baltic coast, we are increasingly dealing with a clientele that no longer takes any consideration," said the Lübeck Interior and Environment Senator Ludger Hinsen (CDU) the "Lübecker Nachrichten". “Beachgoers throw their garbage in the sand even when the garbage cans are still half empty. They park their cars wherever there is space, even if there is still space in the official parking lots. "
Police even check beaches at night
And the senator becomes even clearer: "The neglect and piping has assumed unimaginable proportions."
The police, stewards and security services came under fire after the super weekends between Lübeck and Flensburg – for example, too few or the wrong garbage cans were set up. Hinsen defended the law enforcement officers in the Committee on Environment, Security and Order (USO) of the citizenship.
Last weekend, for example, the police checked in Travemünde until 3 a.m. and the security service commissioned by the health resort, which had been increased to eight people, was out at night.
The responsible division manager of the municipal security service, Melanie Wöhlk, also reported to the “Lübecker Nachrichten” that there was now rigorous action against illegal parking. Over 300 warnings were issued last weekend, costing between 15 and 35 euros. In addition, 30 vehicles were towed away. The city of Lübeck, to which Travemünde belongs, has even introduced a one-way street rule in Kaiserallee.
Ignorant tourists litter the beaches
And the number of rubbish bins has meanwhile also been increased, as spa director Uwe Kirchhoff announced to the "Lübecker Nachrichten". "There are now as many as usual for the Travemuende Week or a windjammer parade."
However, the employees of the spa are full of hope that the toughest weeks are over. “The holidays are over, also in other federal states,” said Kirchhoff. Last weekend, the amount of waste dropped from 50 to 30 cubic meters. (pr)
