Tirkedie in Kaltenleuten: 15-year-olds fall from the former factory!

On Thursday evening, February 6, 2025, a tragic misfortune occurred in a former cement factory in Kaltenleuten, Mödling district. A 15-year-old Viennese fell through a large hole in the bottom of the sixth floor and remained seriously injured on the first floor. Unfortunately, every help came too late and the girl died of the consequences of the accident. The police announced that the young people who were traveling with the deceased were emotionally affected. This quartet included a 15-year-old, an 18-year-old and a 21-year-old, all from Vienna. Background information on this can be found in the article by 5min.at

As police spokesman Johann Baumschlager explained, the four young people came to the abandoned building by opening a barrier grid. They got into the main building from a secondary object via a ladder. After the first investigations, the group apparently intended to take photos in the old factory area. The fatal incident occurred from the roof when descending, where the girl fell through a hole in the ground with a two to four meter tall. While the 21-year-old's statement has already been recorded, the interrogations of the 15-year-old and the 18-year-olds are still pending. Further details on the incident and the investigation can be read in Sn.at

The police confirmed that the area is known as a so -called "Lost Place" and is often visited by young people, despite the construction fences and bans on the construction fences. After the investigation has been completed, a report will be sent to the Wiener Neustadt public prosecutor. The circumstances of the access to the former cement factory raise further questions, with the 21-year-old showing the officer the way and providing important information.
