SCANDAL in the tent camp: 13 supervisors suddenly become seriously ill!

SCANDAL in the tent camp: 13 supervisors suddenly become seriously ill!

In a dramatic incident that shocked the Ostalbkreis region, the traditional Zimmerbergmühle tent camp was broken up prematurely after just four days! The situation became so catastrophic for the 210 children aged 8 to 13 and their 35 carers that the health of those involved was seriously endangered. Loud SWR A total of 13 carers fell ill with a mysterious and potentially life-threatening viral infection and the duty of supervision could no longer be guaranteed. But that was just the beginning of the shocking revelations!

Imagine: On Wednesday morning the unheard of and sensational happened! In just two hours, 31 children vomited between 4:30 a.m. and 7 a.m., a scene of horror that sent exhausted caregivers into a state of alarm. The supervisors could no longer control the situation, especially after one of the camp leaders fainted due to dehydration and was immediately taken to the hospital. Schwäbische.de reports that three teenage participants were also reported to have similarly shocking symptoms by concerned camp staff after the abortion. The question remains: What really struck here?

A virus from the depths of hell?

The cause of this harrowing gastrointestinal epidemic remains unknown! Doctors speak of a possible viral infection, with norovirus or rotavirus being the main suspects in the line of fire. Stool samples from the carers were sent to a laboratory in Stuttgart for careful examination, while no samples could be taken from the injured children. This required parental consent – ​​a bureaucratic dilemma in the midst of this health catastrophe!

What is particularly alarming is that this is not the first time that gastrointestinal infections have been rampant in the Zimmerbergmühle tent camp. In 2023, a similar outbreak occurred during events for the little ones, with 15 adults and an astonishing 60 to 70 children becoming infected with norovirus. This time, however, the situation seemed even more depressing and dangerous! How can it be that a place that has been considered safe since 1948 continues to be the scene of such atrocities? The camp management team urgently announced further disinfection measures to clean the camp before the next section planned in two weeks. Is that enough to drive away the scary ghosts of the past?

Sensational reporting and the 75th anniversary

And that's not all! The accident shockingly comes in the middle of the celebrations of the camp's 75th anniversary - an anniversary that will be seen in the dark light of events in the future. Managing director Sarah Nubert has already announced that a circular email will be sent to parents to inform them about the measures taken to ensure the safety of their children and the comprehensive disinfection work. The untouched idyll of nature is now overshadowed by a dark shadow, and parents are worried: How safe is it actually to accommodate their children in the next section of the tent camp?

The anticipation of the camp has thus been transformed into an oppressive uncertainty. While the camp management does everything in its power to drive away the horror, the big question remains: Has the Zimmerbergmühle tent camp been damaged forever? We will follow developments and keep you updated SWR and Schwäbische.de. Hold on to your kids, because next time it could be even worse!
