controlled explosion in the Grunewald: road closures necessary

Next Tuesday, the residents of Berlin-Zehlendorf will have to prepare for road closures. The reason for this is a controlled explosion that will take place on Sprengplatz Grunewald. The measure, which is supposed to begin at 10.15 a.m., affects certain sections of the AVUS (A115) between the Hüttenweg and Spanish Allee junctions as well as the crown princess between Havelchaussee and Großer Star in Grunewald. According to the police, the road closures are expected to take longer than an hour.

The Sprengplatz Grunewald serves as a warehouse for found bomb flargers, grenades and ammunition from World War II. In addition, illegal fireworks were also secured there. Last summer there were uncontrolled explosions on the site, which resulted in a forest fire. The extinguishing work stretched over several days at the time.

The controlled explosion serves to securely remove the dangerous materials and thus ensure the safety of the population. However, the exact background for the planned explosion were not announced.

The residents of Berlin-Zehlendorf should therefore adjust to the road closures in good time and, if necessary, choose alternative routes in order to avoid time delays. It is recommended to keep an eye on the traffic situation via local transport information.

After completing the explosion, the affected road sections will probably be accessible as soon as possible. The population is asked to follow the instructions of the police during the demolition and the necessary blocking to ensure the safety of everyone.
