Authorities issue weather alert for potential severe storms approaching
A storm that swept through the district of Herzogtum Lauenburg around Ratzeburg on Monday, September 14, 2025, has caused disruptions in traffic and led to an incident at a campsite in Römitz.
According to the Police Directorate Ratzeburg, a tree fell on a campervan at the campsite in Römitz on September 15, 2025, at around 20:00. The 62-year-old woman from Hamburg, who was in the campervan at the time, escaped unharmed as the tree only struck the front of the vehicle.
