After a house fire: Halle mobilizes for affected families!

After a house fire: Halle mobilizes for affected families!

In Halle (Saale) there was a devastating house fire on Cansteinstrasse on October 10, 2025. The fire, which may have been caused by a short circuit while charging an e-scooter, left eight families homeless and all their possessions looted. Three families are particularly affected, whose fate deeply affects the community. Hall indicator reports that among the losers is the neighbor Claudia, who courageously intervened to save others, but lost everything herself.

The most famous faces of this tragedy include Lolita and Oliver with their little daughter Lorena and the grandparents Stela and Victor. Unfortunately, their homes have also become uninhabitable, which doesn't make the situation any easier. The fact that all these families are now left with nothing has mobilized the household. A friend of the affected families is organizing a short-term fundraising campaign GoFundMe launched to provide help as quickly as possible.

Solidarity in the neighborhood

The goals of the fundraising campaign are clear: the funds collected should primarily benefit the affected families. The community hopes to provide the families with shelter, clothing, baby equipment and new furniture. The donation goal is a generous 20,000 euros. An important project of the house community is to rebuild the courtyard of the house as a place of hope and remembrance.

The cause of the fire has numerous consequences. There were equally dramatic scenes in another incident on Motzstrasse that had already occurred. A helper had to leave the building, which was in danger of collapsing, at 3:30 a.m. and is now left without everything. Her apartment was completely flooded as a result of the firefighting work. Support options are also organized here. An internal donation link was set up to provide the affected helper with short-term financial support while she found private accommodation. However, the process of settling insurance claims can be lengthy. Fundraiser points out that a list of needed items, such as clothing and small electronics, will be drawn up for ongoing support.

Help for families

Another fundraising campaign, which is also attracting great interest in the region, aims to help a family after a house fire. The affected family, which was left without household contents insurance, needs everything from complete furnishings to clothing and toys. She hopes to be able to make a fresh start in a new apartment as soon as possible.

Together, the neighborhood shows that solidarity is strong after such an accident. Every contribution, no matter how small, is valued as valuable help and can make a difference in the lives of the families affected.
