Urban Safety and Vitality: New City Regulations ProposedPalmer and other mayors want alcohol sales banned after 10 PM, Sunday openings, and improved surveillance by 2026 to boost safety.
- Tübingen’s mayor Palmer and two colleagues propose banning alcohol sales after 10 PM to reduce noise and social conflicts.
- Tax relief and Sunday store openings are suggested to prevent downtown decline and support local retailers.
- The federal government should take over funding for clean and secure train stations, relieving cities of current costs.
- Privacy rules for public spaces need revision to allow more video surveillance at sensitive locations for enhanced safety.

- Mayor Boris Palmer agreed to a public discussion with AfD representatives scheduled for early September 2025 to prevent a downtown demonstration.
- The AfD had registered 35 participants for a planned protest that was canceled due to concerns over retail losses during summer sales.
- The city views open debate as a democratic tool even though the AfD is classified as right-wing extremist by the domestic intelligence service.
- Authorities acknowledge the risk of political fallout, as the event might be seen as legitimizing the AfD.
This corresponds to his long-standing conviction that discussion and arguments in democracy are the right tools for confrontation, even when a party is classified as securely right-wing extremist by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, but is not banned.— The municipality justified Palmer's decision in this way.
