Dortmund in a state of emergency: 8,600 people evacuated due to suspicion of bomb!
On April 6, 2025, around 8,600 people in Dortmund are asked to leave their apartments. The reason for this extensive evacuation is suspected of non -exploded World War II bombs at four different locations in the city. The affected areas are the Märkische Straße/Wenkerstraße, the Rhinelanddamm at Kaiserhainteich, a parking lot on Friedrich-Uhde-Straße and the Florian tower in the Westfalenpark. The Arnsberg district government's ordnance disposal service will carry out the bombing.
The evacuation must be completed by 8 a.m. on Sunday morning at the latest. The people concerned include residents and the residents of two senior citizens' homes. These are brought to the care center in the Goethe-Gymnasium with special patient vans, which will be open from 8 a.m. Evacuation buses are also available at several stops, while the regulatory office controls the radius of evacuation. The city informs the public about a news sticker and social media to keep those affected up to date.
care measures and safety precautions
The safety precautions are comprehensive. Parking at the school is not possible and important information for the evacuated are prepared. This includes taking away necessary medication, baby and special food as well as switching off electrical devices and closing windows and doors. Pets must also be taken to the care center or cared for.
To regulate traffic, the B1 is blocked and traffic is diverted via the B54. The U41, U45, U47 and U49 subway lines will not stop at certain stops, while the S-Bahn line 4 does not drive during the defusing. Dortmund Airport expects to be used in air traffic due to the measures.
support for those affected
Various leisure activities are provided for the evacuated Dortmunders during the evacuation period. These include the free visit to the Zoo Dortmund, the "Hörder Spring" in the Hörder Center, a benefit east market in the Botanical Garden of Rombergpark and a family Sunday in Dortmund U. In addition, telephone pastoral care is available around the clock at 0800/111 0 111 and 0800/111 0 222.This preparation is important because the evacuations in bomb defusing are not unusual. Similar missions have also occurred in other German cities, such as Cologne. In a year, over 40,000 people were affected by several defusing. Voluntary organizations, such as the German Red Cross, support such operations by sending instructions and providing evacuated people.
After the possible disarming of the possible duds, the radius of evacuation is canceled, and the return to the apartments could take place promptly. A coordinated procedure and the close cooperation between responsible authorities are crucial in order to manage such operations and their effects as best as possible. Parents, seniors and people in need are in particular responsibility to be well prepared.
