Was ist das Maurer-Schema und warum ist es für Events in Berlin wichtig?
Anyone planning an event in Berlin or Brandenburg cannot avoid the Maurer scheme. It is the standard procedure for risk assessment at events and is required by most Berlin public order offices as a basis for approval.
What exactly is calculated in the Maurer scheme?
The system, named after its inventor Dr. Klaus Maurer, assigns points for various risk factors. This results in a score that precisely determines how many paramedics, emergency physicians, or ambulances you need on site.
The most important factors are:
-
Number of visitors: How many people are expected at one time?
-
Type of event: A heavy metal concert carries a higher risk than a reading.
-
Celebrities: Are there any politicians or international stars present who require special protection?
-
Potential hazards: Are there pyrotechnics, alcohol, or specific sporting risks?
Legal certainty for event organizers:
