The social security administration across the Hamelin-Pyrmont district kept its schools closed on Monday due to heavy snowfall. Authorities confirmed the shutdown as a precaution against severe winter weather. A return to normal operations is now planned for Tuesday, despite lingering challenges. The decision to close schools was announced by the district administration and the school supervisory office. Both bodies cited hazardous conditions from snow and ice as the reason for the temporary measure. The announcement came on Monday, 26 January 2026.
