Educational Institutions - Chemistry room holds explosives? - High school evacuated
The chemistry room in a Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg gymnasium had a mysterious barrel that sparked a morning evacuation. Officially, it was suspected to hold an explosive substance, according to a police spokesperson. Consequently, students were instructed to leave Dunckerstraße's school building and gather at an outdoor assembly point. To ensure safety, a 100-meter radius was established, avoiding any impact on nearby houses. LKA experts carefully carried the barrel out of the school and deactivated it, as stated. With the threat neutralized, the teaching resumed. "B.Z." covered this event.
