Youth protection law at ZiBoMo events
The youth protection law (§1 and §5 JuSchG) results in the following rules for our events:
During carnival events:
• unaccompanied children up to 14 years old until 10:00 p.m.,
• Unaccompanied young people up to 16 years of age until midnight,
• Young people aged 16-18 until 12:00 p.m. unaccompanied
be present unaccompanied.
At our other events (e.g. Oktoberfest).
• Children and young people up to the age of 16 must be accompanied
• Adolescents aged 16-18 are allowed until midnight unaccompanied
of a legal guardian/legal guardian must be present at our events.
§5 paragraph 2 applies to carnival events, since our events are assessed as maintaining customs.
