Bomb defusal in Kiel: Evacuation of residents starts today!
An exciting but also worrying situation can be observed in Kiel today, June 18, 2025: A 250 kg aerial bomb was found on the street “Zum Kesselort” and now requires rapid defusing. For a small but affected group of residents, this means a temporary evacuation from their own homes.
A total of 19 addresses are affected, including several allotment gardens. According to the information from NDR Around ten residents have to leave their homes by 3 p.m. at the latest. The affected addresses include Hasselfelde 10, 11, 15, 16 and others in the area. The safety regulations require that residents prepare for a longer absence and therefore have to think about food, medication and other necessary things.
Evacuation arrangements
The Dietrichsdorf Volunteer Fire Department provided emergency accommodation for the evacuees from 2 p.m. This is located at Poggendörper Weg 36 in 24149 Kiel. For anyone who needs support or has questions, the Kiel professional fire department service telephone number is available(0431) 59050available. Information will also be distributed via handouts to affected households to ensure everyone is well informed.
Part of Kiel Harbor will be completely closed from 3 p.m. during the defusing, which means that no watercraft will be allowed to enter or leave the area, including those used privately or commercially. However, swimming in the bathing areas on the west bank remains permitted, which is a small relief for many residents and visitors.
General information
The defusing takes place in the context of a continuous security check of old ammunition finds after the Second World War. According to the city of Kiel, the population is also being informed via warning apps and social media to help with evacuation and defusing. This is not only a security aspect, but also a sign of good communication between the authorities and the population, who are often worried and uncertain in such situations. Kiel.de also emphasizes how important it is to inform citizens quickly and efficiently in crisis situations.
In conclusion, the current situation shows that the authorities are well prepared to ensure the safety of residents while ensuring that indispensable areas for the public are maintained, such as the bathing facilities on the west bank. It remains to be hoped that the defusing will go smoothly and that all residents will be able to return to their homes soon.
