Accused Spark: Fire at Abandoned Former Opera House in Dresden's Leuben District; Three Juveniles under Scrutiny

Three minors suspected of arson following Dresden's ex-Opera House fire - Three females are under suspicion for homicide following a fire incident at the erstwhile Opera House in Dresden.

After a fiery night in Dresden's Leuben district, a shocking discovery unfolded on Sunday. The devastating blaze that engulfed a structure there – once upon a time, the state-of-the-art home of the Opera House – had three young suspects yawning in the crosshairs.

The inferno, ignited on Friday evening, caused a relentless fury against the building in the Leuben district. Over the course of the night, an enormously dedicated and tireless crew of emergency services battled heroically against the flames. By dawn, the once-majestic structure was reduced to ashes. The ashes didn't rest, though. By Sunday, smoldering wooden beams still clung to their warm embrace, unbeknownst to the passionate residents who had to call in the fire department once more. A nearby observer caught wind of the smoldering beams and couldn't ignore the rising smoke gases, promptly informing the authorities.

The beloved Apollo Theater was inaugurated in 1947 as the sole independent opera house in Germany, nestled within the cozy walls of a former inn. However, a relocation to the former Mitte power plant site in Wilsdruffer Vorstadt's district occurred in 2016, leaving the Leuben location vacant ever since. Over the years, there had been discussions about reclaiming this once-thriving cultural hub as a center for creative expression or communal gatherings.
