Overview
- Firefighters brought a large Berlin-Lichterfelde industrial fire under control after hours of work, with a hall roof and parts of an office tract collapsed and no injuries reported.
- Poor hydrant access complicated the Berlin operation, prompting support from a nearby power plant and use of water from the Teltowkanal; no hazardous materials were stored in the hall.
- In Hamburg-Othmarschen, four cars burned overnight after one vehicle was likely set alight, including a car linked to AfD parliamentary manager Bernd Baumann that is registered to his wife.
- State Protection at the LKA opened an investigation into suspected arson with a potential political motive, has not identified suspects, and is asking witnesses to come forward.
- An Indymedia post claiming responsibility appeared Monday and is being assessed by police, while separate proceedings advanced with charges in a Leipzig arson series and two youths identified in a Weimar police-car fire.
