The suspected four unexploded bombs on the site between the S-Arena and the Leine are to be rendered harmless on Saturday, March 25, 2023. This will require an evacuation in a 1,000-meter radius around the sites.
To ensure the safety of the public, an evacuation within a 1,000-meter radius is required for the operation. All people must have left the restricted area by Saturday morning, March 25, presumably 6:00 a.m.. Around 10,000 residents and, for example, employees and hotel guests are affected. The experts will not be able to start work at the sites until the area has been completely cleared.
The City of Göttingen appeals to residents to find a place to stay outside the restricted area for the duration of the evacuation. For those who are unable to do so, the city will once again offer central accommodation – the exact location will be announced in good time before the operation. For transportation, a shuttle service with buses is again planned, as well as a basic supply of drinks and food in the evacuation center. Pets can be taken along after registering with the hotline, which has yet to be set up.
We ask you to follow the instructions of the relief organizations, as well as the police. The sooner the area is evacuated, the sooner the defusing can begin and the sooner you can return to your apartments.
