Bombing in Göttingen: whole city before evacuation!

Bombing in Göttingen: whole city before evacuation!

In Göttingen, bombing is an everyday challenge for many residents. Another evacuation area will be set up next Saturday, which forces thousands to move again. This time the measure also affects the travelers who want to use the train station because it is temporarily closed.

The campaign begins on Saturday morning at 6:00 a.m. At this point, no people can stay in the evacuation area. Anyone who violates this regulation must expect a fine of up to 5,000 euros. In order to help the affected residents, emergency accommodations are provided and shuttle buses are set up to make people leave to leave the area.

failures and diversions on trains and buses

Deutsche Bahn has already announced that the long -distance trains between Hanover and Kassel will not keep in Göttingen and are partially diverted. The trains that are not diverted only reach Göttingen via certain transfer points: from the north they come to Nörten-Hardenberg, while those from the south end near Kassel. As a compensation, the transport companies use replacement buses that stop at the Albaniplatz stop in Göttingen. This also applies to regional trains that end depending on the line in Northeim, Adelebsen, Eichenberg or Heilbad Heiligenstadt.

The measures will also lead to restrictions in local public transport. Buses have to be redirected or only run on sections. This was already handled in previous evacuations to offer the traveling alternative options.

always defusing

Göttingen has carried out many explorations in recent years to find hidden bombs from the Second World War. These studies are based on aerial photographs that were analyzed in the post -war period. Experts use special measurement technology and carry out holes to examine suspicious points more closely. On Saturday, experts are commissioned to inspect three jobs that are assumed that duds are hidden there. If it is necessary, the experts will defuse or blow up the bombs.

The potential duds are near the S-Arena, where BG Göttingen, a basketball Bundesliga club, plays. The city has already prepared for these examinations months in advance. This means that the groundwater level was lowered and special container towers were built, which serve to protect the surrounding buildings in the event of an explosion. This procedure is called the "Göttingen model" of the container tower and is an innovative protective mechanism.

The constant defusing in Göttingen show how important it is to act as a precaution in order to ensure the safety of the population. While the measures cause temporary stress and inconvenience, the city helps through its efforts to make no danger from the hidden bombs.
