Overview

• Berlin’s THW secured the displaced roof on Reinhardtstraße late Thursday using internal clamps and steel cables, added an exterior barrier, and installed sensors to detect movement before ending the operation after midnight.
• Thirteen residents were evacuated without injuries; officials expect returns on Friday after owner‑led final safeguards, while the full closure of Reinhardtstraße between Friedrichstraße and Albrechtstraße remains in place.
• Firefighters and engineers say the roof structure had pushed the facade toward the street and that the bulge had been visible for years, with imagery from 2022 and local testimony corroborating earlier displacement.
• Hamburg firefighters continue container‑by‑container cooling and overhaul at the Veddel warehouse site after renewed predawn explosions; six people were injured in the blaze, including three seriously.
• Investigators in Hamburg await safe access to determine the cause, with suspected nitrous‑oxide gas bottles among the hazards, and in Berlin the stabilized site has been handed to the owner for further remediation and clearance.
