Power failures in Ober-Ramstadt: Citizens have to prepare for darkness!

On February 4, 2025, the residents of Ober-Ramstadt, especially in the Nieder-Modau district, are affected by considerable power outages.

large -scale power failure

The power failure in southern Hesse and parts of the Rhein-Main area started around 10:30 a.m. and affected numerous cities, including Darmstadt, Dieburg, Münster and Langen. Several traffic light systems were put out in the faults, which led to a rear -end collision between a truck and a car on the B486 between Langen and the Offenthal. Supermarkets in the messel and long had to be temporarily closed, Hessenschau .

A technical defect in the substation in Rödermark Urberach was the cause of the failure, which could not be distributed to the subsequent substation for about 50 minutes. Flight operations at Egelsbach airfield was discontinued, with only emergency landings allowed. The communication networks were also partly impaired, which caused additional difficulties.

reactions to the disorders
