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.
Video surveillance in sensitive areas is not an attack on freedom, but its protection.— Boris Palmer, Mayor of Tübingen, during the city image debate on public 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.
