Air bomb discovered in Lübbenau: trains stand still, evacuation is running!

On June 5, 2025, a dud was discovered on a construction site of the Deutsche Bahn in Lübbenau, Oberspreewald-Lausitz. The find is a flying bomb from World War II, as Deutsche Bahn reports. The defusing of the ammunitional danger is scheduled for Thursday morning between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. During this time, all trains are set in the affected area, especially on lines RE2 and RE7. The railway has organized replacement traffic through buses.

A 300-meter barrier circle is pulled around the danger zone, which is not near residential buildings. To defuse, the Lübbenau output towards Cottbus and adjacent roads must be closed. The safety precautions are necessary, as unexploded goers are still a serious problem and have a high risk potential in urban metropolitan areas. These remnants of the Second World War have had to clear these ammunition.

safety precautions and defusing procedures

The challenges associated with the defusing of blind passengers arise not only from the spatial proximity to humans, but also from the specific properties of the finds. Auditarians are not detonated ordnance, such as bombs or grenades that do not explode or do not completely explode after their use. These weapons represent considerable danger potential, especially if they contain long -term liners that can increase the risk of later explosion. According to Wikipedia, it is still estimated in Germany that 10 to 20 percent of the bombs dropped in World War II are considered dud.

KAI KULSCHEWSKI, member of the management team for the evacuation in Cologne, indicates that numerous duds are still found in German cities. In Cologne, where the disposal of ordnance remedies made extensive measures in recent months, city director Andrea Blome thanked the emergency services and the population for their support during these critical times. The development was particularly drastic as part of the evacuation of two bombs in the urban area, where security zones of up to 1,000 meters were set up due to the danger situation.

• unexploded: More than 75 years after the Second World War continued a problem in Germany.
• security areas: 300-meter barrier circle around the site in Lübbenau.
• Definitions: around 5,500 duds are defused in Germany.

dealing with blind companions therefore not only requires expertise from specialized companies, but also close cooperation with the authorities to ensure the safety of the population. The incident in Lübbenau once again illustrates which bricks are still in the way to complete elimination of the order left behind during the war. The continuous efforts of specialists are essential to thoroughly eliminate the dangers that work out of blind companions.

Awareness of the risks is also important among the population. People should be aware of the dangers who assume blind accommodation and know how to act in the event of suspicion in order not to take unnecessary risks.
