According to the police, around 15,000 people live in this area. The evacuation is necessary because a bomb from the Second World War has to be defused.

Some residents are dissatisfied with communication on the part of the police. Simone Krüger was only informed by her daughter. She is also unhappy about the emergency shelters because she cannot take her cat there. Marianne Gently, on the other hand, makes the best of evacuation and plans to spend time in the city library.

The evacuation also affects people on Flämingstrasse, where the evacuation has already started. Antje Höhne and her friend Steffi Wegner observe what is happening from a balcony. You are concerned about the fact that there is a sports field where you recently trained with your football team. Steffi Wegner was also only informed about this via Facebook.

Some other residents have heard the evacuation information all over the city and are concerned that not all residents were informed in good time. The police admit that it was difficult to reach everyone due to the limited time.

The evacuation was not without complaints, but most residents have prepared for the Situation and try to make the best of it. Some go to the doctor, others meet with friends or have breakfast. The defusing of the bomb has started and the airspace was blocked.
