Shocking accident on the B5: Four cars collide near Husum!

There are currently some important developments in Schleswig-Holstein that affect both road traffic and local sporting events. Today, November 1st, 2025, the focus is particularly on a traffic accident on the B5 near Husum.

An accident involving four vehicles occurred in the morning around 10 a.m. near Rödemis, which led to the B5 being completely closed. A total of three people were injured and the clearance work is proving time-consuming due to an existing construction site. An expert is on site to clarify the exact causes of the accident. As verkehrslage.de reports, the accident site has now been cleared, but the situation remains tense as bypass roads and the Denmark-Heide border crossing are also affected.

Water levels are falling in the Duchy of Lauenburg

In the Duchy of Lauenburg region, current reports from researchers at the TU Lübeck are causing a stir. The scientists warn of falling groundwater levels in the surrounding lakes, especially the Pinnsee near Mölln. This has actually lost up to 1.50 meters of water height within 25 years. The Garrensee near Ratzeburg is also recording similar declines. The reasons for this are, among other things, climate change and high water extraction for households and agriculture, which is of great importance for local residents and nature.

While the weather in Schleswig-Holstein is giving us dry phases today, rain and even shower-like intensifications can be expected from the afternoon onwards. The maximum temperatures are between 12 degrees on Sylt and 15 degrees in Mölln. A light to moderate wind will blow, but fresh to stormy gusts could occur in the North Sea.

Sports and events

As far as sport is concerned, football in Schleswig-Holstein hasn't brought the best news. Holstein Kiel had to come to terms with a 1:2 against Preußen Münster and thus experienced their fifth defeat in a row. Alexander Bernhardsson initially opened for Kiel, but the team couldn't maintain their lead. Goalkeeper Jonas Krumrey described the defeat as avoidable, showing the disappointment felt by fans in the region.

Another worrying incident occurred in the Pauluskirche in Brunsbüttel, which fell victim to a fire on Saturday night. The roof structure was completely destroyed and the damage is estimated at several million euros. Luckily there were no injuries, but 90 helpers were deployed to prevent anything worse from happening. The church remains inaccessible for the time being, as an inspection for the risk of collapse is pending and investigations into the cause of the fire are already underway.

Overall, these events reflect the diverse and challenging situation in Schleswig-Holstein, which contains both positive and worrying news. Combating nature problems, ensuring safety on the streets and cheering on the local football teams - all of this is part of what motivates people here.
