Overview

• A short, intense storm late Sunday sent mud sweeping into the village of Obergurig near Bautzen in Saxony’s Oberlausitz.
• Mud washed off surrounding fields, covering roads and inundating basements across the village center.
• Firefighters, municipal works crews (Bauhof) with residents worked for hours through the night to clear debris and reopen access.
• Local reports say runoff from Mönchswalder Berg after heavy rain and hail struck hardest around the junction of Hauptstraße, Wilthener Straße, Großpostwitzer Straße and along Schulstraße.
• MDR published footage, credited to LausitzNews, showing the mudflow and response, with coverage centered on property impacts and cleanup.
