Potential discoveries of explosive ordnance: investigation in the Hamburg park Planten un Blomen
Secret treasure in Planten un Blomen?
In the midst of the hustle and bustle in Planten un Blomen, the explosive ordnance disposal service recently discovered suspicious areas in aerial photographs. The parking area between the trade fair, Dammtor and Marseille Promenade is therefore closed to visitors on Tuesday and Wednesday, while the Old Botanical Garden and the ramparts remain accessible.
The search focuses on determining whether old weapons or perhaps other exciting objects are actually hidden there. If explosive ordnance is found, the explosive ordnance disposal service, the police, the fire department and the Hamburg-Mitte district office work closely together to create an evacuation plan and inform residents. “In coordination with the fire department, it was decided to carry out the excavations after the EM to ensure that enough emergency services were available,” explained Elsa Scholz, spokeswoman for the Mitte district office.
The tension rises as the experts carefully search the soil of Planten un Blomen and may uncover an exciting secret. The safety of the population has the highest priority and the cooperation of the authorities ensures that this unexpected situation is handled professionally. Visitors are asked to respect the closure of the affected park areas and to look forward to new developments.
