Disarmament in Hannover-Bothfeld Square on September 9, 2025 (FW Hannover)

On Tuesday, September 9, 2025, approximately 20 residents in the safety zone around the former Freiherr-von-Fritsch barracks in Hannover's Bothfeld district will be asked to evacuate at 6:00 PM. This is due to the discovery of World War II-era grenades on the site.

Residents are advised to inform their relatives, friends, and neighbours about the evacuation measures. They should also take with them all essential items such as medication, baby or special food, and appropriate clothing.

For those with mobility impairments, an ambulance can be requested by calling 19222.

The A2 motorway exit 45 (Hannover-Buchholz) heading towards Berlin will be temporarily closed for the detonation. The safety zone will also temporarily restrict the Hannover-Buchholz exit from the A2 motorway heading into the city.

Regular traffic reports on the radio will provide updates about the closures. More information about the closures can be found on the website of the Lower Saxony Traffic Management Center at https://www.vmz-niedersachsen.de/.

The Fire Department Hannover's website is located at https://www.feuerwehr-hannover.de/. For further inquiries, contact the Fire Department Hannover at Christine Reime (0511 912-1293) or [email protected].

The information was originally transmitted by the Fire Department Hannover via news aktuell. The removal of the danger will take place after all safety measures have been successfully implemented.

The press department of the Hannover Fire Department could not be specifically named in the provided search results. However, Achim Barczok is mentioned as the head of press and public relations for the Lower Saxony data protection office in Hannover, but this is unrelated to the fire department. There is no direct information about the press officer specifically for the Feuerwehr Hannover in the search results.

A care center will be set up at Zur Stadtgaertnerei 10, 30657 Hannover, for those affected by the evacuation who have no other accommodation. The grenades will be detonated on the same day.
