Fire in Weferlingen and explosion in Marienborn: alert criminal cases!

On the night of Friday, July 5, 2025, several incidents drew the attention of the police in the region. The fire in a gazebo in Weferlingen and the blowing up of a ticket machine in Marienborn cause unrest in the neighborhood.

At around 2:33 a.m. the fire department was called to a fire on Friedrichsstrasse in Weferlingen. When the emergency services arrived, the arbor was already on fire. Fortunately, a technical cause or spontaneous combustion could be ruled out, reports [Sachsen-Anhalt.de](https://www.sachsen-anhalt.de/bs/pressemitigungen?tx_tsarssinclude_pi1%5Baction%5D=single&tx_ tsarssinclude_pi1%5Bcontroller%5D=Base&tx_tsarssinclude_pi1%5Buid%5D=582504&cHash=a550567c106ac72d7994f8cf2403e184). The damage caused is estimated at around 15,000 euros. In order to clarify the exact circumstances of the fire, an investigation into the cause of the fire was initiated.

The search for the cause of the fire

The fire investigation is central to finding the cause. This forensic activity includes viewing and documenting the scene of the fire as well as evaluating traces. As BDK.de explains, such investigations not only contribute to criminal prosecution, but are also important for insurance and public safety. Anyone interested in determining the cause of a fire should know that a high level of specialist knowledge and technology is required.

Fortunately, there are cutting-edge techniques used in fire investigations, such as thermal imaging cameras and drones, to explore hard-to-reach areas. These devices help investigators precisely identify sources of fire and clarify the causes of fires. During the investigation, we also work closely with experts to determine the cause of the fire as accurately as possible, such as Wikipedia.

More incidents in the region

While the investigators are busy in Weferlingen, the police also made a shocking discovery in another incident in Marienborn early in the morning around 3:26 a.m. Unknown perpetrators blew up a ticket machine on the main street with pyrotechnic explosives. The loud bang alerted residents, who immediately called the police. The machine was significantly damaged and the estimated damage is around 10,000 euros. The perpetrators fled in a dark car towards the A2 motorway. The police are asking for information on 03904/478-0.

Another incident occurred in Osterweddingen, where a break-in at a substation was discovered. Between May 3rd and July 5th, 2025, unknown persons stole around 300 meters of copper cable, causing an estimated damage of 2,500 euros. An investigation has also been initiated here and the police are hoping for information from witnesses.

The region therefore faces a number of challenges. While investigations into the cause of the fire in Weferlingen are underway, the incident in Marienborn is causing additional concern among residents. Police are asking anyone who saw or heard anything to come forward to shed light on the matter.
