Explosive ordnance

An aerial bomb

᠎Pending Translation:

Der Schutz der Bevölkerung vor Gefahren, die von Kampfmitteln ausgehen, ist eine Aufgabe der Gefahrenabwehr im Sinne des Niedersächsischen Gesetzes über die öffentliche Sicherheit und Ordnung (Nds. SOG), die den Kommunen obliegt. Das Land Niedersachsen unterstützt die Kommunen bei dieser Aufgabe, indem es bei dem Landesamt für Geoinformationen und Landesvermessung Niedersachsen (LGLN), zu diesem Zweck die Regionaldirektion Hameln-Hannover, Kampfmittelbeseitigungsdienst, eingerichtet hat. Der Kampfmittelbeseitigungsdienst (KBD) wird für die Städte, Landkreise und Gemeinden im Rahmen der Amtshilfe bei der Gefahrenerforschung, Bergung und Beseitigung von Kampfmitteln tätig.

Wer als Bauherr ein Grundstück bebauen oder anderweitig nutzen möchte, ist im Hinblick auf Kampfmittel für die Sicherheit auf dem Grundstück verantwortlich.

Allgemeine Auskünfte zum Thema Kampfmittel sowie Kampfmittelbeseitigung im Zusammenhang mit Bauvorhaben innerhalb des Stadtgebietes erhalten sie beim

  • I have found explosive ordnance - what now?

    IMMEDIATELY

    If you, as a property owner, find explosive ordnance on your property, you must report this.

    Explosive ordnance includes all munitions intended for warfare, in particular bombs, mines, grenades, explosives and detonators.

    Explosive ordnance is often unrecognizable as such. Many are rusted beyond recognition or resemble commercially available objects in appearance.

    The duty to report also applies to walkers who find munitions.

    Attention - danger to life!

    Please do not pick up the ammunition or leave it where you find it!

    The city of Wolfsburg is responsible for this.
    You can reach the public order office by calling 115 or 05361 28-1234

    OR: You can call the Wolfsburg police on 110 or 05361 4646-0.

    OR: You can contact the Lower Saxony Explosive Ordnance Disposal Service on 0511 30245-500 (also outside opening hours).

  • Questions and answers about bomb disposal

    Why do unexploded ordnance have to be cleared?

    As a result of the bombing during the Second World War, unexploded bombs of various types and sizes lie hidden in the ground throughout Germany, especially in many large cities. During reconstruction, many unexploded bombs were not properly removed.

    Detonators that did not trigger when the bombs were dropped can still be activated today, more than 70 years after they were dropped, and therefore represent a major potential hazard. Due to corrosion, the detonators are difficult to assess and can trigger uncontrollably at a later date.

    Why does the evacuation radius have to be so large?

    Experience from bomb disposal and explosions shows that parts of unexploded bombs have caused damage even at great distances and therefore pose a danger to people.

    Why are last-minute evacuation cancellations more common?

    The question has often been raised as to why evacuations are planned and then canceled on the last day before the date because the sites turned out to be harmless.

    For safety reasons, detailed investigations of suspected sites, which often require extensive preparatory work such as lowering the groundwater level, can only take place close to the planned defusing date. If, in the course of this further exploratory work shortly before the defusing date, it turns out that the suspected site previously discovered by the aerial photograph and examined with measuring equipment only contains building rubble, for example, the all-clear can be given.

    How costly are such evacuations?

    The time, planning and work involved in evacuating parts of a city is considerable.

    All the threads come together in the city's public order office. At the same time, the evacuation radius is determined here in coordination with the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Service and the individual evacuation zones are then divided up.

    On the day of the evacuation, several hundred emergency personnel from the volunteer fire department, the professional fire department, municipal departments, aid organizations and the police are usually deployed to ensure that everything runs smoothly and to support the explosive ordnance disposal service.
