Overview

• Overnight volunteer teams from the THW stabilized the visibly shifted roof using internal gripping clamps with steel cables and added an external barrier, concluding the emergency operation shortly after midnight.
• A structural engineer verified the stabilization on site; 13 evacuees await formal clearance as Reinhardtstraße remains closed between Friedrichstraße and Albrechtstraße, with nearby shops shut and parked cars relocated.
• During after-extinguishing work in Hamburg’s port, fresh explosions around 4 a.m. reignited two containers that were extinguished from a safe distance, and no injuries were reported.
• On the A7 near Tarp, police stopped a fleeing VW Passat by shooting the front tyres; the 31-year-old driver was detained, his licence and vehicle seized, and a blood sample was taken for the investigation.
• In Bavaria, a cross-district chase ended after police disabled a rear tyre and two officers were slightly injured, and in Schongau a 41-year-old allegedly caused a head-on crash while intoxicated and unlicensed with falsified plates; criminal inquiries are underway.
