If the Heilmeyersteige is renamed with the timetable change in December, a process lasting several years will end, which included a criteria catalog for namesake and a survey of residents. Accordingly, future namesake must, among other things, have campaigned for the common good or have a special meaning for Ulm. Attention should also be paid to a balanced relationship between men and women. But criteria for renaming are also listed there.

The first drug consumption room in Baden-Württemberg opened in Karlsruhe. The most severely dependent should be able to inject safely here. What does this do with the drug scene in town?
Karlsruhe has had a drug consumption room since last December. The new facility is located on Kriegstrasse, right next to the addiction counseling center "Get in". For those affected, who are mostly stigmatized, drug consumption rooms represent an important survival aid. In order to avoid drug accidents and relieve the drug scene in public spaces, severely addicts can consume drugs brought with them under hygienic conditions in the new Karlsruhe drug consumption room. There are 20 addiction support facilities of this type nationwide, including in Berlin, Hamburg and Hesse.
Use drugs under supervision
The Narcotics Act (BtMG) allows the federal states to set up a drug consumption room. A corresponding statutory order is required. After the Karlsruhe municipal council gave the green light for the concept in March 2018, the green-black government in Stuttgart was still wrestling with a decision. "For a long time, the CDU was skeptical of this type of addiction help. In March of last year the cabinet reached a compromise", says Cordula Sailer, drug commissioner for the city of Karlsruhe.
Anyone who wants to use the drug consumption room must sign a corresponding agreement after an initial discussion in which they undertake to comply with usage rules. Drug addicts can consume the drugs they have brought with them at a total of four places. The drug users have clean and sterile syringes, disposable gloves and disinfectants at their disposal. "For those affected, this is more hygienic and safer than spraying on the street. We also have trained specialists on site", explains Cordula Sailer.
Around 1,000 severely dependent people in Karlsruhe
Only severely addicts with a long drug career are allowed. "The drug consumption room is not intended for first-time users"stresses the drug commissioner. Approved intoxicants are opiates, cocaine, amphetamines and benzodiazepines.
"There are currently around 1,000 severely dependent people in Karlsruhe", reports Cordula Sailer. "It is important to us that there is no legal vacuum here", she says. "After all, they are illegal substances." Some drug addicts are skeptical because they fear being intercepted by the police here.
Cordula Sailer refers to cooperation agreements between the drug counseling center and the Karlsruhe police, the regulatory authorities and the public prosecutor’s office. "There are clear agreements here that this will not happen", she says. "However, we always keep in mind that no new drug scene is established here in the vicinity of the drug consumption room", she says. "If someone uses the area as a drug trading point or violates the rules in any other way, this naturally has consequences."

It remains to be seen whether the drug consumption room actually relieves the drug scene in the long term. "At the moment it is too early to judge how the situation is changing. The facility has only existed since December last year"says Sailer, "such a project takes time. So far, however, our contact point has been well received."
