Suspected Arson Probed in Dresden as Overnight Fires Hit Berlin, Leipzig and Stuttgart

Police investigations follow overnight fires in several cities with no serious injuries reported.

Overview

  • In Dresden’s Neustadt, firefighters tackled a series of container blazes starting at 12:55 a.m. with further calls at 1:35 a.m. and 2:25 a.m., and police are investigating suspected arson.
  • Berlin recorded two cellar fires within 24 hours—around 1 p.m. on Marienfelder Allee and shortly after 7 p.m. on Albrechtstraße in Steglitz—prompting evacuations of residents as police opened inquiries.
  • In Leipzig-Liebertwolkwitz, debris and old roof beams burned at a derelict site around 1:48 a.m.; crews contained the fire within 20–30 minutes and reported no injuries.
  • At Stuttgart’s Cannstatter Volksfest, a fryer ignited in a festival tent kitchen late morning; on-site fire safety teams and firefighters extinguished the blaze, and the tent reopened after air measurements.
  • Across the incidents, emergency teams quickly contained the fires, prevented larger damage, and reported no serious injuries while authorities examine the causes.
