In Brief

In two incidents in Germany, police pursued stolen caravans and motorhomes. In one case, three suspects were arrested, a fourth escaped; in the other, two men were detained.

On the night of July 6, police chased a vehicle with a stolen caravan on the A52 motorway towards Roermond. The pursuit ended near the Mönchengladbach interchange, where three suspects were arrested; a fourth fled into the city. The driver was intoxicated and had no driving license. Three patrol cars were damaged, and a helicopter was used in the search.

In a separate incident in Bergisch Gladbach, police arrested two men after a chase involving a stolen motorhome. The motorhome, with Belgian plates and stolen the previous week in Cologne, had evaded a traffic check, sped in a 30 km/h zone, and ran a red light. The 21-year-old driver and a 24-year-old passenger, who was wanted, were arrested in a dead end in the Refrath district.

Motorhome tourists in Völklingen: mostly for the World Heritage site

A survey at two motorhome parking areas in Völklingen found that about 90% of guests come to visit the UNESCO World Heritage site Völklinger Hütte. The rest are transit travellers from Spain, Italy, the Netherlands and other countries, staying one or two nights. Among those interviewed were a couple from the Lower Rhine, two families from Fulda and a retired couple from Lübeck, who noted the contrast between the region and familiar vineyards, as well as the similarity of locals to people from the Ruhr area.

Camping tourism in Sauerland remains popular

Camping tourism in Sauerland has evolved from a trend into a permanent fixture, according to tourism experts. Demand is particularly high at campsites near the region's lakes, where visitors appreciate the chance to cool off quickly in the water. The region is actively expanding motorhome infrastructure: more towns and municipalities are offering equipped parking spaces with electricity and services. As of January 1, 2026, 3,739 motorhomes were registered in the Hochsauerland district, an increase of over 200 from the previous year, while across North Rhine-Westphalia the motorhome fleet grew by 7% to 211,800 units.
