Wild animal accident in Nuthe-Urstromtal: driver remains uninjured!
Today, October 27, 2025, there is an important message in Nuthe-Urstromtal that should alert drivers in the area. There was an accident with wildlife on the district road between Gottow and Schöneweide when a deer suddenly crossed the road. A 56-year-old driver failed to avoid the animal and collided, but escaped with a shock - she was uninjured. The deer, however, escaped, while the property damage is estimated at around 500 euros. The police were on site to record the incident and take further measures, as news.de reports.
Accidents involving wildlife are not a rare phenomenon, and this also has to do with increasing urban sprawl and changing habitats. According to the Wildtierinstitut, deer are often the main actors in such incidents. The statistics show that a total of 76,537 wildlife accidents were documented by the end of 2024, with deer dominating these statistics. Their high number suggests that effective prevention measures are urgently needed to minimize such accidents.
Burglary in Ludwigsfelde
But the news isn't just in traffic today. Yesterday, October 26, 2025, a break-in was reported in a single-family home in Ludwigsfelde. The police received a report at 3:50 p.m. that the house had been entered through a basement window between October 17th and 26th and ransacked. Valuable jewelry was stolen and, according to initial estimates, the damage to property is likely to be in the five-figure range. The police have already filed a criminal complaint and requested forensic science to track down the perpetrators, as news.de reports.
Prevention efforts
In view of current events, it is clear that both wildlife accidents and break-ins are constantly on the agenda. The recording of wildlife accidents, as carried out by the Wildtierinstitut, is essential for the development of effective prevention measures. This data requires that authorities and communities work together to ensure lasting protection for people and animals.
Finally, we hope that both drivers and residents of the region remain vigilant. Safety comes first – whether on the road or at home.
