New Year's Eve: Berlin in fireworks frenzy for 180 million euros!

On December 28, 2024, a fireworks store in Berlin opened its doors for the New Year's Eve season, and the demand for pyrotechnic products is already enormous. The first customer was already waiting in front of the door to purchase a premium set that does not come from China, but from Germany. As Berliner Zeitung reported, the operators Tim Mehringer and Jack Savelsberg generate sales at the end of the year that could rise to the six-digit range. A turnover of around 180 million euros for New Year's fireworks is expected throughout Germany, with many customers being willing to issue significant amount. For example, a buyer made a purchase of 3000 euros on Saturday morning, equipped with a so-called pyro note that allows the acquisition and use of larger fireworks.

regulations and security measures

The safety precautions for the sale of pyrotechnics are rigoros. The products are divided according to categories, whereby F1 is suitable for children and F2 may only be sold to adults. The regulatory office checked compliance with the regulations and even controlled the storage rooms. These strict measures are important because the experience from past New Years shows that improper use of fireworks can result in serious injuries. Last year there were 28 serious injuries in Berlin, and the rescue centers are preparing again for a busy New Year's Eve. It is known that not approved material, such as so -called "Polenböller", is still responsible for dangerous accidents.

In addition, there will be prohibition zones in Berlin in which the police will prevent the ignition of fireworks. These areas include Alexanderplatz, parts of the Neuköllner Sonnenallee and the Brandenburg Gate. These measures show the efforts for security, while the city is also responding to the high sales figures and the interest in fireworks. But also the challenges, such as delivery bottlenecks due to international problems, could also influence the availability of fireworks.
