Weilimdorf: Huge evacuation due to unexploded bombs on October 19th!

On October 19, 2025, an unexploded bomb will be defused in Weilimdorf. The city of Stuttgart informs that the evacuation of the security area will begin at 9 a.m. that day. The security area, which also includes part of the B 295 federal highway, will be closed to traffic. Driving into this area will no longer be possible and traffic will be diverted locally. The affected residents should prepare for the measures, which could probably be characterized by permanent uncertainties, as the duration of the evacuation depends on the condition of the explosive device, according to Stuttgart.de.

A collective accommodation will be set up for the evacuees in the sports hall of the Wolfbusch School at Köstlinstrasse 76. From 9 a.m., people who have to leave their homes can meet there. The city administration points out that people with physical limitations who need support should contact the Public Order Office on 0711 216-91928 by October 15th.

Evacuation measures and safety precautions

During the evacuation, completeness checks must be carried out in the relevant areas. Responsible employees are required to be well informed about the number of people present. However, this can be problematic in places such as retail stores or museums as the number of people present can fluctuate. It is therefore important that the collection point is regularly checked to see whether there are still people in the building, according to the recommendations of Medinstrukt.de.

In the event of an evacuation alarm, it is essential to leave the building immediately and go to the collection point. People often ignore evacuation alarms because they assume it is a false or test alarm. In such situations it is important to be particularly vigilant as there is a risk to life and limb. Evacuation helpers and those responsible must ensure that everyone has left the building, although self-protection should always have priority.

Support and first responders

First responders will be at the collection points to provide first aid until emergency services arrive. This is particularly important in order to be able to react quickly to emergencies. The arriving rescue workers are briefed on the situation on site by the responsible people or evacuation helpers so that help can be organized efficiently.

The city of Stuttgart and the organizations involved are working closely together to make the evacuation and subsequent defusing of the unexploded bomb as safe and smooth as possible. Residents should inform themselves about the telephone numbers and contact points mentioned and follow the instructions of the authorities to ensure that they can leave their homes quickly and safely.
