Trial Advances for Drywall Manager in Düsseldorf Nightclub Ceiling Collapse Case
The manager faces allegations of negligent bodily harm after a ceiling collapse injured four people, with proceedings set to continue in August for further testimonies.
- A Düsseldorf nightclub ceiling collapse three years ago left four people injured, including two with severe injuries.
- The 65-year-old manager of the drywall company responsible for the ceiling's installation is on trial for alleged negligent bodily harm.
- Prosecutors allege the manager added a second gypsum board layer to conceal cracks, dangerously increasing the ceiling's weight.
- The suspension method for the ceiling, using dowels in a plaster layer, is under scrutiny for being insufficiently secure.
- Court proceedings are ongoing, with the next phase scheduled for late August to include witness and expert testimonies.
