The bomb disposal at the Gallus is scheduled for tonight, October 16, 2020 at 9:00 p.m. In order to meet this ambitious schedule, the Frankfurt fire brigade, the public order office and the state police say that all residents and employees must leave the restricted area starting at 6 pm During construction work in Flörsheimer Strasse A US-made 50kg aerial bomb was discovered at lunchtime today. According to the Artillery Disposal Service (KMRD), the bomb must be rendered harmless quickly. The schedule stipulates that the KMRD specialists for the state of Hesse, who are based in the Darmstadt regional council, will start work tonight, October 16, 2020 at around 9 p.m. The state and municipal police close the area of evacuation starting at 6:00 pm The police then carry out checks to make sure everyone has left the area. Trucks with police loudspeakers are used. If it starts on time, the goal is to finish the deactivation around 11 pm About 6,000 people are affected by the measures. To defuse the WWII bomb, evacuation of a radius of 300 meters is necessary, as in the event of detonation, considerable damage to buildings and serious danger to life and limbs of people can be expected in this area. If you are unable to leave the exclusion zone independently and need help, you can contact the citizen’s phone number 069 / 212-111 or register online at www.feuerwehr-frankfurt.de. For people in the evacuation zone who have no other place to stay, a call center will be set up in exhibition hall 11 (access via the West Gate, Portalhaus, Straße der Nations). This is open from 6:00 pm Due to the corona pandemic, the usual rules of distance and hygiene apply here, as well as the obligation to wear a mouth and nose cover. People who live in the evacuation area and are currently subject to an isolation or quarantine order issued by the health department remain in the home and prepare to be picked up. The health department knows the addresses of these people. Those affected are collected from their home, temporarily housed and transported back after being deactivated.
