Evacuation in Cologne: 20,000 residents affected due to bombing!
The next big bombing facility is just around the corner in Cologne. On Wednesday, June 4, 2025, around 20,000 residents within a radius of 1,000 meters from Deutzer Werft are asked to leave their apartments. The reason for this is three World War II flirts who were discovered during construction work. Among the bombs found are two 20-centers bombs and a 10-century bomb, all equipped with dangerous impact lifts, such as T-Online reports .
In order to ensure the security of the citizens, the show planned for Wednesday is canceled by comedian Tedros "Teddy" Teclebrhan in the Lanxess-Arena and moved to Monday, June 9th. Tickets keep their validity. Cologne local transport is also affected by the evacuation. Stadtbahn lines 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 14 and 17 do not run their usual line path, and several stops cannot be operated. The complete setting of bus line 196 during evacuation will be particularly drastic.
a comprehensive evacuation plan
Cologne citizens should be well prepared that day. The RTL headquarters are also evacuated and the employees are forced to work from the home office. However, the early magazines "Point 6" and "Point 7" send live from Cologne, while "point 8" is eliminated. The Cologne Messe/Deutz station will no longer be hit on Wednesday, 8 a.m., even if trains are allowed to drive over the Hohenzollern Bridge, but do not stop there. The bridge itself is closed responsible for the defusing, which could also complicate the traffic situation. After the successful defusing, gradual reversal of traffic can be expected, which could still bring restrictions in the evening, such as WDR supplemented .
The ordnance disposal service defused a 5-century bomb in the city center a few days ago, which was discovered during construction work. The polishing of the construction site had discovered a suspicious metal body under the chain vehicle around 4 p.m. When the bomb was confirmed, the defusing had to take place at night to banish the danger. During the six -hour evacuation, the fire brigade helped the regulatory office and set up a contact point in the gymnasium of the Humboldstrasse vocational college, where at least some residents could spend the night.
What do the residents take?
On the day, those affected should take ID card, medication, baby food and everything necessary. Unfortunately, pets could not be brought to the contact point. This affected not only school children who suffered from the strict requirements, but also other residents who had to strive for alternative accommodations. Before they could return to their houses, all streets in the evacuation area had to be cleared until the defused bomb is safely removed with a crane, according to the information from T-Online .We will pursue the further development in the course of the bombing in Cologne and report whether everything is going smoothly. The residents are well advised to adhere to the instructions of the authorities and to leave their apartments in good time.
