Power failure in Berlin: Dark times for thousands of households!

Darkness caused confusion among people who live and work in the affected areas such as the Wrangelkiez and along Köpenicker Straße.

Some time later, around 11:30 a.m., another power failure was registered in the area of ​​Tiergarten and Potsdamer Platz. Here, too, the operators of the power grid reported problems on the net, with the Philharmonie and the Culture Forum affected. The operators used a team of experts to quickly fix the disorders.
