World War bomb defused in nightlife district
In the northern German city of Hamburg, the discovery of a world war bomb on Saturday night led to an extensive operation by the fire department. The bomb was successfully defused shortly after midnight.
Due to the discovery of the unexploded bomb from the Second World War, the busy nightlife district around Sternschanze was partially evacuated on Saturday evening.
Bomb found on the grounds of an elementary school
Several thousand people had to leave their homes. Police officers asked visitors to restaurants, bars and pubs in the trendy district to leave the safety zone. The bomb was found during construction work on the grounds of an elementary school.
Emergency accommodation set up
According to the police, emergency accommodation was set up in the Gymnasium Allee for all those affected. The German Red Cross was also deployed.
The evacuation measures in the Sternschanze area were not completed until around 11.30 pm. The police had already informed people about the bomb discovery in the early evening and asked "everyone on their way to the Schanzenviertel" to "turn back or not set off at all". Apparently, the evacuation of the restricted area went smoothly and without any problems.
