Overview
- A blaze started in a second-floor apartment of a nine-storey building on Wolf-Heidenheim-Straße, and firefighters recovered one person who did not survive.
- Fire crews mounted a large response, evacuated nearby units and checked all apartments above the fire for smoke entry.
- The state's criminal investigation office (Landeskriminalamt) has taken over the probe and is working to establish the fire's cause.
- Officials have not released the victim's identity or a full damage assessment and have said it is still unclear which units, if any, are currently uninhabitable.
- Residents face possible displacement while investigators complete forensic work and authorities update on cause, victim identification and habitability in follow-up reports.
