Fire and ammunition in focus: Evacuation in Tettau causes excitement!
On Friday afternoon, June 20, 2025, the small community of Tettau near Ortrand was shaken by an unexpected incident. A kitchen fire broke out in an annex, which was caused by improper use of oil on a gas oven; The 91-year-old lady responsible did not have a good hand. The fire brigade was quickly on hand and could contain the fire so that worse things were prevented. However, during the extinguishing work, the emergency services came across something unexpected: a supposed handicraft grenade that later turned out to be a dummy, which, however, raised the first worries.
Because of the fire and ammunition find, the authorities quickly took measures and evacuated the surrounding single -family houses to ensure the safety of the residents. This happened not least because the police found larger amounts of ammunition at the scene of the fire. The exact origin of this ammunition has so far been unclear, and the responsible weapons authority has announced that it has been violated whether the [Weapons Act] (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/waffengesetz_ (Germany)) was violated.
a disappointing find
The discovery of the handicraft grenade raises questions because this weapon comes from the German Empire and was used between 1915 and 1918. It has many variants, such as the M15 and M16, which were developed at the time of the First World War - an interesting, albeit disturbing story that is hidden behind such a find [wikipedia] (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/stielhand grenade) that these grenades are described as a "potato stamping" and from a long wooden handle and a explosive load exist.
The property damage of around 40,000 euros is considerable and the investigation by the criminal police is in full swing. As it turns out, dealing with weapons in Germany is strictly regulated. The current [Weapons Act] (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/waffengesetz_ (Germany)) stipulates that the acquisition and possession are bound to a recognized need and prevail strict retention regulations. In addition, certain types of weapons, such as jumping knives, are categorically prohibited in Germany.
Despite the unpleasant circumstances, the residents were pleased with the rapid action of the fire brigade and the security authorities who were able to control the situation. "At such moments you think of the safety of the neighbors and your own family. You can't thank the emergency services often enough," said a resident of the neighborhood.The next few days will show what further knowledge can be obtained from the investigation. However, one thing is certain: security measures are important, and the well -being of the citizens is always a top priority.
