The fire burned violently and recorded the entire building, with the exact causes still unclear. The fire brigade and police reported a complete fallow fire on the thatched roof of the building, which is not common for such a building.

Fortunately, there was no injuries in this incident, which represents positive news in the middle of this tragedy. The emergency services were quickly on hand, and a total of 85 firefighters were deployed in order to master the impending danger. They managed to extinguish the flames mostly, even if there were still a few fire nests.

Sometimes unexpected complications can occur that extend the extinguishing work. Altonaer Straße was also closed to traffic, which indicates the severity of the operation.

The fire brigade not only has to do with the fight against the flames, but also with the structural damage that such a fire brings with it. The property damage is still unclear at the present time, and an extensive report will follow that will determine the exact costs.

Such incidents naturally raise questions: How could such a devastating fire occur? Why is the tea house, a popular place for visitors to the garden, are not better protected? In the coming days, a detailed investigation will start to bring light into the darkness of this worrying Situation.

While the fire brigade continues to fight smaller brand nests, the thoughts remain in the restoration and the necessary safety precautions for the future. It remains to be hoped that such incidents in the city will not become everyday life and that the English garden can soon shine again in full shine.
