Defusing of explosive device in Barbara district achieved success
In the heart of Düsseldorf, a 500kg bomb from World War II was discovered under a bridge at Düsseldorfer Str./Dyckhofstraße on July 24, 2025. The bomb, a munition requiring defusal, has been the focus of intense operations since its discovery.
Initially scheduled for defusal on July 24, the bomb disposal service of the Düsseldorf Regional Government has been working tirelessly to ensure the safety of the city. As of the latest update, the bomb defusal is still ongoing.
The location of the bomb is at the shunting yard in the city center, and the access roads around the bomb discovery site have been closed. Evacuation measures are necessary due to the bomb, and the exact streets and areas of the evacuation zone are shown on a map.
Unfortunately, the bomb has not been defused as of 21:05. Deutsche Bahn trains and the U75 tram line of Rheinbahn have been affected due to the bomb defusal, causing disruptions to public transport.
For further inquiries about the bomb defusal, an info phone has been set up by the city of Neuss, reachable at 02131 90-9091. It is important to follow the instructions of the on-site emergency services and appreciate the necessary measures and restrictions.
As of July 31, 2025, there are no specific updates available regarding the defusal progress, affected evacuation areas, or transportation impacts within Düsseldorf itself. For the latest official updates, local Düsseldorf authorities or emergency services announcements would be the most direct sources.
