Fachave parts fall on Colognestrasse: two passers -by seriously injured

in Bonn, on Monday, March 17, 2025, a terrifying incident occurred: from a multi-storey residential and commercial building, massive facade parts suddenly fell on the sidewalk. At that time, two passers -by were on the Kölnstrasse. The accident occurred around 4:20 p.m. when large, heavy chunks of the facade broke off and met both the sidewalk and the street, such as Feuerworld.at reported.

The fire brigade and the emergency services immediately alarmed moved out immediately and were able to bring the injured people out of the danger zone. In the first aid, it turned out that both the man and the woman were seriously injured, but were not in mortal danger. Two ambulances and emergency doctors then took over medical care and transported those affected to the University Hospital in Bonn and the Petrus Hospital. "When we arrived here, the police had already brought the two to safety," said the fire brigade operations manager Dennis Zimmermann. In the meantime, the police ensured a spacious blocking of the site, reports wdr .

further measures by the fire brigade

In order to rule out a renewed hazard, Kölnstraße was completely closed during the missions. The fire brigade controlled the entire facade of the building from a turntable ladder to secure other loose parts. A total of around 30 emergency services were on site, and a drone unit was no longer required in this use. Further security by the Technical Aid Service (THW) is still planned to give the affected house residents access to their apartments and to clarify the street scene. The fire brigade ended at around 7:00 p.m., but the work will continue for several hours.
