East Hesse Police Headquarters 25th anniversary

Overview

The East Hesse Police Headquarters (Polizeipräsidium Osthessen) marked its 25th anniversary with a public festival and open house event in Fulda. Originally established on January 1, 2001, following a major police reform in Hessen, the headquarters operates out of the former Down Barracks. The facility is responsible for the security of approximately 450,000 people across 4,000 square kilometers, covering 20 percent of the land area in Hessen.

On a recent Saturday, approximately 8,000 visitors attended the anniversary celebrations. The program included a formal ceremony featuring a musical performance by the state police orchestra and the screening of a commemorative film illustrating the headquarters’ development. A notable highlight of the ceremony was the retrieval of a time capsule that had been placed in the building’s foundation in 2001.

During the event, Police President Michael Tegethoff reviewed the department’s history, noting its evolution from early challenges, such as the Castor transport operations in 2001, to recent major operations like the Hessentag in 2026. Hessian Interior Minister Roman Poseck praised the daily work of the Osthessen police, emphasizing their essential role within the state’s security architecture. Additionally, Fulda Mayor Heiko Wingenfeld highlighted the headquarters as a reliable partner in local security.
