After the spectacular crane accident, Ferdinandstraße resembled a landscape of rubble. The construction site crane simply tipped over and damaged a residential building and shops.
It borders on a miracle that no one was injured in the terrible crane accident.
Just one day later – this Tuesday – the clean-up work began.

A specialist company was on site with two salvage cranes and lifted the wreckage onto a heavy-duty truck. Before that, professionals worked on the rubble with welding equipment.
Numerous onlookers watched the salvage work.

“It was absolutely lucky that nothing happened to anyone,” emphasizes Jörg Winkler, general manager at DIW Bau, which rented the construction equipment for the work on the former Wöhrl department store. An expert opinion will clarify why the rental crane fell over. “It was probably a technical defect,” said Winkler.
The police have not initiated an investigation. “There is no initial suspicion of a crime,” said prosecutor Steve Schulze-Reinhold.
As a precaution, the tenants from five affected apartments had to move out of the affected prefabricated building, as Vonovia spokesman Matthias Wulff announced. They stayed in hotels. “We cannot yet foresee the return to the apartments – it is still being investigated,” said Wulff.
The extent of the damage has not yet been quantified.
