Fire in Lichtenberg: artist studio burned, one person injured!

this morning, on June 21, 2025, a fire broke out in a commercial building in Berlin-Lichtenberg that quickly let the alarm bells ring. The fire occurred in a studio on the first floor of a five -story house that houses artist studios and rehearsal rooms for bands. As the Tagesschau reported more than three hours to use the fire to fight and carry out the reversal work.

The fire could be deleted quickly, but the reversal work was difficult due to a strong smoke. Unfortunately, the damage in the studio was considerable, it burned out completely. One person was slightly injured in the incident and received the necessary care on site, but did not want to go to the hospital at his own request, such as the Tagesspiegel . The police have already investigated the cause of the fire.

Details on the use

The emergency services, who were on site with an impressive contingent of 63 firefighters, needed more time due to the strong smoke to secure themselves and check the environment. It is not the first time that the fire brigade is required here. According to Feuertrutz there is no comprehensive and uniform fire statistics in Germany, which allows sufficient conclusions to be drawn to frequent causes of fire. Nevertheless, the evaluation of such incidents could contribute to improving fire protection.

The residents are at first calm that the fire brigade reacted quickly and was able to prevent the worst. But the incident also raises questions: What security standards apply in such commercial buildings in which work is being creatively worked? And how often do similar fire incidents occur in artists in artists' studios or rehearsal rooms?

One thing is certain: the investigation by the police will show whether and what security measures in this special case have been missed. In the meantime, Lichtenberg remains on an increased willingness to alert - the security of the creative must be a top priority.
