Safe return: all -clear after searching for a bomb in Hameln!

in Hameln was suspected of a dud from the Second World War, who prompted the city to commission the State Office for Geoinformation and Lower Saxony to the Lower Saxony. These aerial photographs showed bomb crater and three places with non -exploded aviation bombs. The ambiguity of the whereabouts of these unexploded leaders led to extensive exploratory work in the affected area.

The fireplers from the "Bitek" company examined the site and found bomb splinters, indefinable metal parts and even a dented steel helmet. The work included both excavator and drilling work, especially under a school building. Thorsten Lüdeke, explosive master at the Lower Saxony Ordinance Service, finally gave the all -clear: the site is free of fighter. Crats filled up 80 years ago were filled again and the drill holes in the school of the school are now visible. The city of Hameln plans to produce the school premises up to the Easter holidays (April 7) for use.

Return of the students and financial aspects

From April 22nd, 385 pupils of the two primary schools on Adalbert-Stifter-Weg can return to their buildings. No grenades or bombs were found during the extensive exploratory work, which indicates that former ammunition spacer commands did a good job. Nevertheless, the city of Hameln expects high costs for the search for the blind companions and for the school transport, which are estimated at an estimated 300,000 euros.

In Germany, an estimated 100,000 to 300,000 tons of dud from World War II remained in the ground. Around 5,000 duds have to be cleared annually, whereby danger areas are identified by analyzing aerial photographs. Targeted searches for blind passengers are often carried out in the context of road construction or house construction projects, supported by aerial photographs and metal detectors. The defusing usually takes place on site to avoid the dangers of transport, as well as the details of the security of ordnance disposal, which on the comprehensive information of ardalpha.de based.
