Panzerfaust find provides evacuation in Neuruppin: 142 people affected!

Neuruppin, Deutschland - On Saturday morning, Neuruppin, Ostprignitz-Ruppin, occurred to a safety incident that required evacuation around a shopping market. An attentive citizen had found a suspected armored fist in a forest and erroneously brought to the parking lot of the market. This resulted in the police react quickly and set up a 50 -meter -wide blocking circuit around the business. A total of 142 people, including employees, customers and residents, were evacuated because there was the possibility that the weapon could be dangerous. Police defusers from Eberswalde were consulted to examine the find and decide how to proceed with the armored fist - whether it is transported or rendered on site. The police, fire brigade and regulatory office are now in use to clarify the situation and to avert any dangers.

The police suspect that the armored fist is a weapon from the Soviet Army's stocks, which could come from the Second World War or the decades afterwards. Such finds are not unusual in the region. Gerd Fleischhauer, technical operations manager of the Neuruppin ordnance disposal, explained that such armor feeders can be found in ordnance such as the former shooting range of the Soviet troops or on the banks of the Elbe. These historical backgrounds are part of a major problem that affects the region and regularly claims the work of the police and the disposal of ordnance.

historical classification and local challenges

In a special context, the ordnance disposal not only accompanied these incidents, but also events such as the blue light day in the Prignitz district, which recently took place in Perleberg. There, numerous visitors were interested in the various presentations of disaster protection, fire brigade and police. Among other things, Gerd Fleischhauer exhibited severe ammunition, including tank fists. He emphasized that disposal of such weapons is a central part of public security and that there are specific ordinary regulations for each federal state in Germany.

The military and state organizations for consolidating ordnance remedied after the Second World War are still important to this day. While the first measures took place by the Allied occupying powers, the federal states took responsibility for the systematic evacuation and disposal of fighting from around 1950. Historical explorations, based on archives and aerial photographs, as well as the exploratory with geophysical detectors are necessary steps to identify dangerous anomalies in the earth's magnetic field and ensure that there are no threats to the population.

Overall, the incident in Neuruppin shows how important the cooperation and coordination of the various authorities and emergency services is in order to react appropriately in such unexpected situations and to ensure public security. Despite the risks that a historical impact on ordnance brings, the regional -specific work of the ordnance clearing services remains essential for the well -being of the citizens.
