The sky lanterns, which carry their fire risk uncontrolled into the distance, remain generally forbidden on new year’s eve and new year’s day.
The public order office emphatically warns against possible fire hazards caused by fireworks for the many historic coburg buildings such as coburg fortress, ehrenburg castle, the state theater, the natural history museum, the town hall and the town hall on the market square as well as the arsenal in herrngasse. "In their vicinity, all fireworks are to be stopped as a matter of principle!" Says kai holland, head of the city’s public order department.

Who violates a burn ban, risks a fine under the explosives act, which in extreme cases can be up to 50 000 euros, reads the concluding note of the press release.
