A shock for the city of Weimar! On Monday, November 4th, a dangerous, grenade-like object was discovered during a forced evacuation on Heldrunger Strasse. What began as a routine operation quickly turned into a dramatic large-scale operation by the police and special forces from the Thuringia State Criminal Police Office (LKA). The situation required immediate action to ensure the safety of residents.
While clearing the apartment, officers came across the suspicious object, which immediately triggered the alarm. The entire building was evacuated in no time, and the Weimar fire department supported the police in the rapid evacuation. A total of 13 families had to hastily leave their homes while emergency services did everything they could to avert the danger.

Good news for the residents: In the afternoon, at 2:15 p.m., they received the all-clear and were able to return to their homes. A dangerous incident that kept the city of Weimar in suspense, but fortunately ended without any further complications!
