Auditier in Kassel: Evacuation and ICE closure until 10 p.m.!

Kassel-alarm mood in Kassel-Rothenditmold! A dangerous dud from the Second World War was discovered on a construction site at the margin. The federal police acted immediately: from 2 p.m. residents had to leave their houses while a 500-meter barrier circle was set up. The situation required comprehensive evacuation, and a childcare center was set up to help the citizens concerned. The ICE station Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe was temporarily closed, which led to diversions on the trains concerned. The defusing of the bomb was scheduled for the evening, and the authorities calculated with a time frame for the measures.

The affected streets included Angersbachstraße, Blumenäckerweg and Wolfhagerstrasse. The residents were excited when they prepared for the evacuation. The police ensured that all security measures were taken to protect the population. Accommodation opportunities for the evacuated were promised while the city kept the situation in view.

successful defusing!

Update 10 p.m.! The defusing was a complete success! The blocking of the affected area was immediately lifted, and all residents can now safely return to their apartments. A big thank you to the emergency services who acted quickly and effectively to banish the danger!
