Three fatalities after a devastating fire in the Hamburg Marienkrankenhaus
In the night of May 31 to June 1, 2025, there was a devastating fire in the Marienkrankenhaus in Hamburg. The fire broke out in the geriatric department of the building and led to a dramatic rescue operation. According to Krone, the fire brigade was alerted around 0:30 a.m. Due to the fire, three patients died, while more than 50 other people were injured, including two life -threatening and 16 seriously injured.
The fire spread quickly on the ground floor and also turned over to the first floor. Parts of the hospital had to be evacuated while the fire brigade was on site with around 160 emergency services. Those affected could be saved from the building via turntable ladders and portable ladders.

The Marienkrankenhaus is one of the largest denominational hospitals in northern Germany and has around 600 beds and around 93,000 patients treated annually. The incident raises questions about fire security and the structural conditions in hospitals.
fire protection regulations and security
A study by the [BVFA highlights the structural regulations for hospitals that aim to prevent branding and expansion. The hospital building regulation (KHBauVO) and other guidelines, such as the VDS 2226, regulate fire protection in medical facilities.
