Overview
- A 28-year-old man was killed by a falling tree near the Felsenbühne in Rathen and three people were seriously injured during the evening storms.
- Rescue crews evacuated about 40 visitors, cancelled the planned Felsenbühne performance, and treated roughly ten more people at the scene.
- Night-time search and recovery work continued with Bergwacht drones after crews reported parts of a slope may have collapsed and multiple trees fell into the valley.
- Widespread severe cells produced heavy local damage in Hamburg and Stuttgart and the German weather service recorded hurricane-force gusts up to 143 km/h in Schmallenberg.
- The Rettungsleitstelle Dresden confirmed there are no missing-person reports, Amselgrund and Amselsee remain closed, and cleanup and damage assessments are ongoing as services manage higher demand during a Europe heatwave.
