Audedler chaos in Hamburg: Schanze under evacuation!

A serious incident occurred in the Hamburg Schanzenviertel when a unexploded party from World War II was discovered on Saturday evening. This discovery led to an extensive fire and police operation, in which several thousand people had to leave their apartments. The police informed the guests in the numerous restaurants and bars of the trendy area that they should get themselves to safety immediately.

Background of the bombing was a find during construction work on the premises of a primary school. To ensure the security area, a partial evacuation order was issued. The fire brigade later announced via the social media platform X that the bomb could be defused successfully shortly after midnight.

The evacuation measures, especially in the area of the star hill, died until around 11:30 p.m. In the early evening, the police had asked everyone who wanted to go to the Schanzenviertel to rethink their plans and not continue. The evacuation was largely smooth, without any noteworthy incidents. A retirement home was also affected by the evacuation.

For the residents concerned, emergency accommodation was set up in the nearby Gymnasium Allee, where the German Red Cross and other aid organizations provided support. Although the danger that went from the bomb was over after the defusing, the incident continued to have an impact on rail traffic, since the strongly frequented S-Bahnhof Sternschanze was in the evacuated area.

The quick reaction of the authorities to the discovery of the bomb shows how important security and prevention are in urban centers. These events remind you that even decades after the end of the war, the legacies of this time can still be a threat to the civilian population.
