Chaos in Munich: truck tears framework - Maximilianstrasse closed!

Chaos in Munich: truck tears framework - Maximilianstrasse closed!

in Munich, on December 13, 2024, there was a serious incident that paralyzed Maximilianstrasse for hours. A truck with a semi -trailer came to a scaffolding when turning from Falkenturmstrasse. The rear of the truck got caught in, which led to the fact that the scaffold broke partly from its anchoring and the window panes of the adjacent building broke. The Munich fire brigade was immediately alerted and blocked the affected area over a large area to ensure the security and prevent possible overturning of the scaffolding, such as fireworld.at reports .

The emergency services examined the stability of the scaffolding and temporarily secured it with two clamping belts that were led through the windows of an office and connected to the building. In cooperation with the affected scaffolding company, the fire brigade began with the careful disassembly of the endangered scaffolding, with two turntable ladders being used. The work dragged on until around 6 p.m. before the barriers could be lifted again. The blocking of the Maximilianstrasse between Marstallstraße and Residenzstrasse led to considerable traffic disruptions and diversions for cars and tram lines, such as rosenheim24.de reports .

The exact amount of damage cannot yet be quantified by the fire brigade. However, it is clear that both the repair of the damaged facade parts and the exchange of the destroyed window panes will be associated with considerable financial expenses. The incident not only questioned the security of the environment, but also severely impaired mobility in one of the most busy parts of Munich.
