Great fire in Baden-Baden: Traffic accidents and art treasures in danger!

Lichtentaler Straße, Baden-Baden, Deutschland - In Baden-Baden, a devastating roof truss fire made the city center excited on Saturday evening. The fire broke out on the top floor of a historic building on Lichtentaler Straße, which has been owned by the Kuhn family since 1891. According to the police, all residents were unharmed because they were brought to safety in good time. The fire brigade's great commitment, which lasted until Sunday afternoon, mobilized around 250 emergency services, including the fire brigade, police and emergency services.

An important task during the extinguishing was to save valuable paintings from the burning building. The owner, Philipp Kuhn, was among the helpers and tried to secure as many works of art as possible. The redemption that nobody was injured is alleviated by the concern for the water damage caused by the works of art. Kuhn reported: "It was dark, the house had no light anymore. Then you have to grapple and decide what I take with me." That was hard. " bnn added that the renovation of the badly damaged building will take months and that the damage caused by the facts will go into the millions. The city of Baden-Baden and the police are currently unknown to the exact causes
