Severe weather risk in mid -Saxony: Streets flooded and basement full of water!

Crossen, Deutschland - In Central Saxony, the storm caused a lot of excitement on June 16, 2025. The district of Cross in Erlau was particularly affected, where streets were flooded and the residents faced major challenges.

Also in Zetteritz, a district of the municipality of Seelitz, a critical situation emerged. The local pond threatened to overflow, which is why the fire brigade was called around 7:50 p.m. to quickly fill sandbags and check the process on the pond. At the old fire station in Zetteritz, sandbags were filled and strategically placed at the old inn. In addition, residents in the neighboring places such as Kiebitz, Obersteina, Rittmitz and Niederlützschera reported full cellar and over -the -run streams.
