New emergency container in Ludwigsburg: Protect cultural assets in the event of a crisis!

Ludwigsburg, Deutschland - The fire brigade Ludwigsburg has taken a groundbreaking step to protect cultural assets: a mobile emergency container was presented to provide quick help in the event of disasters. In view of the devastating effects of the Ahrtal flood, a rapid reaction is crucial to save valuable works of art and historical documents. The new container, which cost over 250,000 euros, is operated by the Württemberg State Library, the State Archives of Baden-Württemberg and the Ludwigsburg district. He is now ready to secure cultural assets within 72 hours and prepare for a later restoration, such as reported.

The container is equipped with water, electricity, tools and cleaning devices and can be quickly brought to locations. This is done by calling through the central emergency number 112, which mobilizes both the container and the required specialist staff. Art state secretary Arne Braun emphasizes that in the past, irreplaceable works of art have often been lost in natural disasters and therefore such preventive measures are extremely important. The managing director of the Württemberg State Library, Dr. Rupert Schaab, also emphasizes the logistical support from the new emergency associations, which are able to act quickly in crisis situations, such as Landkreis-ludwigsburg.de reported.

This mobile workshop is a significant progress for the cultural nut protection system in Germany because it strengthens responsibility for the preservation of the cultural heritage. Because while the focus is often on the rescue of human life, the protection of art and culture is also of central importance. Only through the combination of modern technology and trained specialist staff can it be ensured that cultural assets are not irretrievably lost in crisis situations.
