Riots in the outdoor pool: St. Wendel closes early after riots!
On June 14, 2025, a threatening incident occurred in the outdoor swimming pool in St. Wendel, which resulted in the facility being closed prematurely. The day was hot with temperatures over 30 degrees, which led to a large number of visitors. Around 20 young people, mostly male, were involved in an argument that resulted in aggressive pushing and loud insults. The negative emotional reactions were obvious: several girls cried, while other bathers distanced themselves and families withdrew from the tense situation.
The lifeguards on site were visibly overwhelmed as the arguments mainly took place on the lawn and not at the pool. At 7:30 p.m. all bathers were asked to leave the bathing area, which happened only about half an hour before the regular closing time. This decision was made in consultation with the investigators in order to defuse the situation and avoid further problems, as saarbruecker-zeitung.de reports.
Police operations and information
After the incident, two police patrol cars arrived to bring the situation under control. They recorded statements and ensured peace in the outdoor pool. However, the local police department remains silent and can neither confirm nor deny that an operation took place. According to blaulichtreport-saarland.de, the incident will be examined internally on Monday in order to provide the press with further information.
The confusion and lack of clarity about police operations and information policy leads to many questions from the public. The police have also launched an appeal asking witnesses who have information, images or videos about the incident to contact them via WhatsApp.
The local editorial team will continue to follow the issue and report immediately as soon as further information becomes available. In view of the shocking incidents yesterday evening, the security situation in the outdoor swimming pool in St. Wendel remains the focus of public discussion.
