Regulation in Germany: Security service must guard the guardrail at an elementary school in Frankfurt because it's 2.75 inches too low. For 100 years no one bothered about the existing 40 in high guardrail.

In einer Schule in Frankfurt muss jetzt das Geländer von einem Sicherheitsdienst mit 12 Personen überwacht werden, weil das Geländer laut Regulierung 7 cm zu niedrig ist. 100 Jahre hat das niemanden gestört, bei einer Routine-Kontrolle ist das Problem entdeckt worden.

Das Geländer müsste laut Regulierung 110 cm hoch sein, ist aber nur 103 cm hoch, um 7 cm zu niedrig.

Jetzt muss das Geländer ausgetauscht werden und bis dahin muss ein Sicherheitsdienst das Treppenhaus in der Schule bewachen. Die Security kostet fast 14 Tausend Euro pro Woche. Geplante Zeit des Einsatzes: 2 bis 4 Wochen. Vielleicht auch länger, bis ein neues Geländer angeschafft werden kann.

Was sagt ihr dazu? Denkt ihr, hätte man hier auch eine billigere Lösung finden können?

At a school in Frankfurt, the guardrail now has to be guarded by a security service with 12 guards because, according to regulations, it is 7 cm (2.75 in) too low. This hadn’t bothered anyone for 100 years, the problem was discovered during a routine inspection.

According to regulations, the guardrail should be 110 cm (43 in) high, but it is just 103 cm (40 in) high, 7 cm (2.75 in) too low.

Now the guardrail must be replaced, and until then, a security service must guard the stairwell in the school. The security costs nearly 14,000 euros per week. Planned duration of the operation: 2 to 4 weeks. Perhaps even longer, until a new guardrail can be obtained.

What do you think? Do you think a cheaper solution could have been found here?

Its what makes Germany wealthy . A German engineers once told me there were 5 engineers that do the same work as an Irish engineer. The Irish engineers workload was so bad he needed to do 12 hour shifts . The German guys were clocking at at 430 every day . They spend their money in restaurants and bars making the economy boom. Difficult to know who is roghy . AI will have a more devastating effect on Germany that many other countries because of this

I think security is overblown for such a small issue.
