Explosion risk: Bicycle battery ensures residential entertainment in Unteruhldingen

On June 19, 2025, in Unteruhldingen, in the Lake Constance district, the residential fire occurred, which was caused by the explosion of a bicycle battery on the ground floor of a holiday apartment on Poststrasse. The incident occurred around 7 p.m. and led to several injuries. When the emergency services arrived, it was unclear whether residents were still in the upper floors, which made the situation even more difficult. An emergency call was immediately canceled, while neighbors alerted other residents and thus saved people out of the building at the last minute.

rescue measures and injured

A total of 30 firefighters from the Uhldingen-Mühlhofen volunteer fire brigade as well as supportive units from Überlingen and Daisendorf were deployed. The medical care of the injuries, which included seven people, was ensured by the DRK local association Uhldingen-Mühlhofen and the regular rescue service. These were first looked after and transported in clinics. Experts also monitor the breathing apparatus carrier due to the extreme temperatures.

According to Feuertrutz, there is no comprehensive and uniform fire statistics in Germany, which makes it difficult to assess and improve fire protection. Regular updates and additions could help to avoid such tragic incidents better in the future.
