Background and preventive measures

Vandalism is an increasing problem not only in Vaihingen, but also in many communities in Germany. A survey of 47 dioceses and regional churches shows that many parishes are taking measures to combat such attacks. The Church and life reports on various strategies used for prevention, including controls by volunteers, the use of surveillance technology and structural security such as grilles.

The problems with break-ins, thefts and vandalism have not decreased in recent years. Many communities see increased security precautions as a possible reason for a stable number of cases. Technical measures, such as anti-graffiti coatings, are implemented in concrete to ensure the best possible protection.

The incidents at Kaltenstein Castle make it clear that the protection of historical sites and facilities remains the top priority. Particularly in the absence of comprehensive figures on attacks, the demand for ways to improve security is of great importance.
