Son is suspected: Serious fire in Großhennersdorf!

A dramatic incident occurred on November 4, 2025 in Großhennersdorf, a district of Herrnhut. Early in the morning, the fire brigade and police were called to a devastating building fire on Untere Dorfstrasse. Two residents of the house, a 64-year-old man and his 86-year-old mother, are at the center of a serious investigation into attempted murder and aggravated arson. MDR reports that the son is suspected of intentionally setting the fire.

The dramatic situation was quickly brought under control by the rescue workers. Both of those affected were rescued from the burning building, but the 64-year-old in particular suffered severe smoke inhalation and burn injuries. After being rescued, they were taken by helicopter to a special clinic where they will continue to receive medical care. Unfortunately, both are currently unable to be interviewed due to their injuries, which makes the ongoing investigation very difficult. Blue light ticker makes it clear that the exact background to the fire has not yet been clarified and that the criminal police in Görlitz are conducting intensive investigations.

Serious allegations and investigations

The public prosecutor's office, led by prosecutor Aileen Reimann, has taken over the investigation. The house is no longer habitable due to the damage, and the material damage has not yet been quantified. During the operation, fire investigators determined that only the son had immediate burn injuries, which raised further questions.

The event has shocked the community of Großhennersdorf, and many residents are wondering what motives could lie behind this terrible act. The lack of direct statements from those affected still leaves speculation about the background open.

The situation remains tense and the police are appealing to the public to withhold information in order not to jeopardize the investigation. After all, it is of great importance to clarify the exact circumstances of this tragic incident. The criminal police will continue to do everything they can to shed light on the matter. MDR stands ready to report on further developments.
