Baden-Baden (dpa / lsw) – Because of the defusing of three bombs from the Second World War, hundreds of people in Baden-Baden today have to clear the area around a green area. According to the city, 1,600 people are affected. They should leave their apartments and houses by 8 a.m. at the latest. Then the ordnance disposal service in Baden-Württemberg is supposed to take care of the 250 kilogram explosive devices. The area will be evacuated within a radius of around 300 meters around the sites.
The park is in an area that was bombed by Americans during the war. As a precautionary measure, the city had had the area checked for duds due to pending ground work. Four “critical points” were identified, which a specialist company had gradually uncovered. At one point, however, the experts only found a steel pipe instead of a bomb, which was probably once connected to a pump.
