Ceiling Collapse in Dachau School Parking Garage Causes Significant Damage

No injuries reported as a suspended ceiling in the garage of Dr.-Josef-Schwalber-Realschule collapses, prompting temporary closure and investigation.

The suspended ceiling of the underground parking garage at Dr.-Josef-Schwalber-Realschule in Dachau collapsed on Wednesday around 4 PM.
No injuries were reported, but seven vehicles parked in the garage sustained damage.
The collapse involved a non-structural suspended ceiling that held installations like lighting and fire alarms; the structural integrity of the school and gym above remains unaffected.
The school has been temporarily closed for safety assessments, with classes shifting to remote learning on Thursday, and sports activities suspended until further notice.
Authorities, including fire services, the Red Cross, and technical experts, are investigating the cause of the collapse and working to restore safe operations.
