Grenade in the Saalekreis: Check explosions today for safety!
These days there is always interesting news that keeps us on our toes. Such an event is taking place today, November 13th, 2025, in the Saale district: an anti-aircraft grenade was discovered during construction work for a hydrogen pipeline. The Borken newspaper reports that the detonation of the grenade is planned between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. today after the explosive ordnance disposal service has made the decision accordingly.
The grenade with a diameter of 8.8 centimeters was discovered during construction work and is located on the border with Burgenlandkreis. To ensure the safety of residents, a security area with a radius of 250 meters has been set up. Parts of a nearby allotment garden are particularly affected, and the street “Zur Linde” is also temporarily closed.
Controlled demolition
The decision to use controlled demolition follows a thorough assessment by experts. During such operations, the risk assessment must be carried out precisely in order to avoid potential damage to people and the environment. The BFR-KMR emphasizes that explosive ordnance disposal follows strict rules. This also includes quality assurance to ensure that all steps are carried out properly.
Words like “defuse” and “unexploded bombs” are not uncommon in this context. Remains left by fighting, such as the grenade that has now been found, must be removed quickly and safely so that the area can quickly be accessible to the population again. The responsible explosive ordnance disposal service will observe all “generally recognized rules of technology” in order to carry out the explosion as safely as possible.
Public safety in focus
This means some inconvenience for those close to the allotment and the affected residents, but the security measures seem to have a good hand in averting possible dangers. While such operations always involve particular risks, the focus on public safety is the crucial point that those responsible do not lose sight of.
The public is asked to respect the security area and follow the instructions of the authorities. In the best case scenario, everything remains calm and the Saalekreis can return to its usual activities soon after this potential danger has been eliminated.
