Explosive night in Bonn: balcony becomes a crime scene!

In the early morning of February 12, 2025, at around 3:45 a.m., there was an explosion on the balcony of an apartment building in Bonn-Niederholtorf. According to the first reports of Fireworld , nobody was injured, but the damage to the balcony border, the furniture and the front door was significant. House residents immediately alerted the police and the fire brigade after hearing a loud bang. The local police officers found the remains of the explosion and secured the crime scene to initiate further investigations.

Investigations initiated

like news.de , the police immediately gave important information about the crime scene protection and quickly initiated searches that also included the use of a police helicopter. The Bonn criminal police have already formed a special investigation group to clarify the circumstances of the explosion. So far there is no evidence of a politically motivated background. The way the explosion was brought about is currently the focus of the investigation, which also includes collecting evidence at the scene.

The residents who were temporarily accommodated by the fire brigade were cared for by victim protectors before they were able to return to their apartments after an assessment by a structural engineer. The investigators are now asking the public for help: witnesses who have information about the explosion are asked to report to poststelle.bonn@polizei.nrw.de on 0228 15-0 or by email.
