While Kiel was busy with his bombing, there were also some inconvenience in Cologne. On the same day, 15 couples were registered in the historic town hall for marriages, but here too a dud coined the wedding date. The wedding ceremonies had to be moved to the Porz district at short notice, as wdr reported. From 8 a.m. the bell was set up and roadblocks were made.

At 1.30 p.m., the Ordnung Service checked the streets in the evacuation area, which led to the fact that public transport was also massively affected. The Cologne traffic companies reported impairments in the company and advised the citizens to avoid the inner city area.

vital supply measures

in Cologne was also a priority during events. The control station of the coastal power plant remained occupied by three employees, so that the energy supply was not at risk despite the evacuation. However, around 80 employees of the power plant had to leave the site from 3 p.m., the fire brigade said.

Overall, the evacuation in Kiel was more complicated than initially planned because more than 11,500 people had to leave their apartments. With a clear plan and the cooperation of the emergency services, the defusing of the bomb on a pontoon could finally be carried out.

These incidents illustrate that the aftermath of the Second World War is still noticeable today and that the authorities and the population are noticeable. Monitoring and early evacuation in the discovery of blind passers therefore remains a central concern in our cities.
