250-kilo world war bomb discovered in Berlin-Kladow-evacuation is running!

An eventful day in Berlin-Kladow! On June 11, 2025, a 250 kilogram flying bomb from the Second World War was discovered - and that in a quiet corner of the Breithornweg. A forester drew attention to the dangerous freight and immediately informed the police. This reacted promptly and alerted the emergency services at 12:20 p.m. A few hours later, a blocking circuit of 500 meters around the site has already been set up to ensure the safety of the residents.

A total of about 90 people are affected by the evacuation, in addition to the residents there are also several allotment gardens and a therapeutic facility. The police announced that the detonator cannot be defused on site. Instead, the bomb is blown up by criminal technicians in a controlled manner - the explosion is still planned for the same day. Current information on defusing is provided via the police channel on X (formerly Twitter). This procedure reflects the courageous actions of the authorities, which are always considered to prioritize the security of the citizens.

affected areas and evacuation measures

"What's going on in Berlin-Spandau?" Maybe you ask yourself. As if that weren't enough, there were also significant effects in Cologne due to other bomb defuses. On the same day, when the bomb was found in Berlin, further measures were necessary. In the historic town hall in Cologne, 15 couples wanted to take the big step and marry. However, these plans were thrown over the piles by the authorities because a bomb defusion was due. For this reason, the marriages were quickly moved to the Porz district.

The Situation in Cologne was tense: the security service checked all streets in the evacuation area from 1:30 p.m. Urban contact points for evacuated have been set up, including the exhibition hall 10.1 on the right side of the Rhine and the Humboldtstraße vocational college on the left. Pets were also not allowed for safety reasons. Here the citizens' phone was active to inform affected citizens about the situation. There were also considerable impairments for the rail travelers: Numerous trains had to be redirected in long -distance transport and several connections were set.

The preparations for defusing meant that the Hohenzollern Bridge was closed and Cologne Central Station could no longer be approached from the direction of Deutz. Fortunately, the hospital in Berlin-Kladow was not affected by the situation, but it turns out how far the consequences of such finds are. Not only in Berlin, but also in Cologne, citizens have to adapt to the circumstances and be considerate of the security measures.
