Safety

In order to ensure that all participants and audience members feel comfortable at all events organised as part of "Tacheles", we have been in close contact with the security authorities. We want to provide as much security as necessary, but create as few threatening situations as possible. In order to support event organisers in advance with these issues, we have agreed on the following procedure with the Chemnitz Police Department:

If you are planning an event, please fill out the attached questionnaire and send it to leni.thiele@lfa.sachsen.de or tacheles@smac.sachsen.de. We will forward the information to the police, who will in turn pass it on to the police department responsible for the event location. The local police station will then assess whether they believe there is a need to provide security for the event and, if necessary, discuss further steps with you. Please fill out the questionnaire as completely as possible. This will enable the police to better assess the security requirements for your event.

If attacks occur during your event, you must inform the police and the project team. In addition, various institutions offer help with anti-Semitic incidents, provide advice and assist those affected:

• OFEK e.V. Saxony: Counselling and support for victims

• RIAS Saxony: Documentation and reporting

• RAA Saxony: Support, counselling and assistance for victims

• Ariowitsch-Haus e.V.: Educational programmes for the prevention of anti-Semitism

• ZORA: Criminal investigation

• Antidiskriminierungsbüro Sachsen e.V.: central contact point for victims of discrimination in Saxony

• Violence Prevention Network: Prevention and intervention against extremism

• Alle Sachsen (Countering anti-Semitism | Learning portal for teachers and committed individuals

Against the backdrop of the dramatic increase in anti-Semitic violence and discrimination in Germany, and in solidarity with the Jewish community and appreciation of Jewish life in Saxony, the project team and board of trustees of TACHELES 2026, the Year of Jewish Culture in Saxony, have developed the following mission statement for respectful interaction with one another.

On this page, you will find our netiquette guidelines for social media and digital events. With these guidelines, we aim to ensure respectful interaction in the digital space.
