Dramatic roof terrace fire in Speyer: Fire brigade saves buildings!

on Thursday evening, June 5, 2025, a devastating fire broke out on a roof terrace in the downtown Speyer. The police are investigating - an unattended gas cooker is suspected as the main cause. The fire brigade was quickly on site and was able to extinguish the fire, which was successfully prevented from spreading to the building.

Although the damage is in the low five -digit range according to initial estimates, it is lucky in misfortune: no people were injured. However, the extinguishing work led to considerable traffic disruptions on Gilgenstraße and on the street Postplatz, which had to be closed at times. The Ludwigshafen criminal police have taken over the investigation to clarify the exact causes of the fire.
