American air bomb successfully defused in Lichtenau

If war bombs are found during construction work, as most recently at the Carola Bridge in Dresden, the excitement is huge. Saxony's combat equipment experts, however, move out much more often than many think. In 2024 it was especially often.

In Lichtenau in the district of Rastatt a world war bomb was discovered on Friday in a commercial area. According to the city, the bomb could be defused in the evening.

After the discovery of a 250-kilometre bomb in the Lichtenau industrial area, the state of emergency prevails for hours.
