World War II bomb discovered in Hanau-Wolfgang: Evacuation begins immediately!

Hanau-Wolfgang, Deutschland - There is something to report from Hanau! On Friday, June 13, 2025, a 50-kilogram World War II bomb was discovered during exploratory work in an industrial area in Hanau-Wolfgang. This discovery was unexpectedly and presents those responsible for an urgent task. The State of Hesse's ordnance service has already reacted immediately and secured the site. The bomb comes from American production and is to be defused the same evening.

In order to ensure the security of the residents, an evacuation radius of 500 meters was set around the site. Fortunately, no houses are affected, which makes the situation a little easier. However, road users have to rethink in the affected area: from around 4:30 p.m., Aschaffenburger Straße between Rodenbacher Chaussee and Neuwirtshäuser Strasse will be closed. A bypass via Auheimer Straße is recommended to avoid traffic jams.

Security is going on

How the reporting of OP-ONLINE can occur during the defusing, which the residents occur, which the residents occur, which the residents should. For some this may be a moment of terror, but the experts are prepared and are given everything to defuse the situation safely.

Not only the bomb causes excitement in the city. A fire occurred separately in a Hanau company, which resulted in strong smoke development. Fortunately, there were no injuries, but the fire brigade was used with a team of 24 forces to control the situation. Another example of the fact that there is always something going on in Hanau!

past as a constant challenge

The finds of world war bombs are not uncommon in Hesse. As RP Darmstadt reported on Tuesday, four World War II bombs in Rüdesheim alone were defused. There, too, these are sharp duds who were discovered in the context of planned ordnance probes. Often enough, the evacuation radii are great to ensure security.

The regular explorations in the affected areas are necessary and, above all, important to guarantee public security. The history of the Second World War does not let go of it to this day - and in Hanau it is once again demonstrated. Let's hope that the defusing of the bomb will take place without any complications today!
