Heavy rain in Neumünster: Fire brigade use due to floods!
Neumünster, Deutschland - On Friday, July 18, 2025, a violent heavy rain appeared in Neumünster, which not only flooded the streets, but also called on the fire brigade. The sky began to open its locks at 4 p.m. and ensured real water chaos. Over 80 emergency services from the fire brigade and volunteers were in large -scale operation to pump out basement and secure endangered roads. As reported [kn-online.de] (https://www.kn-online.de/lokales/starkregen-in-neumuenster-ueber-ueberschw for-6esuxoslkfh5hgwvxkxjavze2y.html?outPuttype=valid_amp), numerous emergency calls came due to the emergency calls due to the uncontrollable amounts of water in.
The streets of the city center, such as Roonstrasse, Schleusberg and Friedrichstrasse, were particularly affected. The underpass at the train station was also under water and had to be closed by the police. In some areas, the amount of rain, especially in Gadeland, was rather moderate with about 13 liters, while the city center had to record significantly higher rainfall. The sewage system had a lot of effort to cope with the amounts of water, which caused many cellars to be dramatic, so ndr.de.flooding and chaos
The fire brigade and the Neumünster municipal utilities were not the only ones who were challenged. The sewage system also reached its limits, which had devastating consequences and led to similar problems in numerous neighboring towns. Particularly piquant: Water masses in the sewage system met hot district heating lines, which led to vapor swaths from Gullys. Despite the chaos, no injured citizen was reported until evening. Doesn't that make you think? This type of extreme weather events is no longer just an exception in Germany.
The floods are a clear sign of climate change, which, according to an analysis by the Federal Environment Agency, is increasingly leading to such extreme weather conditions. Unlocked climate changes have contributed to an increase in heavy rain events in recent years, which will not lose weight in the future (environmental-undamt.de). Municipalities are called to take measures to adapt. Initiatives such as the “Regen // Safe” project of the Federal Environment Office aim to support cities and municipalities in better preparing for extreme events and taking precautions.

precautions such as the installation of backflow valves and the creation of infiltration areas are in the foreground. Cities that are already actively working on adaptation show that innovative drainage planning and information campaigns are very useful and necessary for the citizens.

It is worth thinking about the possibilities of how the effects of such weather events can be reduced in Neumünster.
In view of the latest weather conditions, a loud warning to the address of all municipalities is due: act now before it is too late again! Climate change is not waiting, and water masses can significantly impair not only the infrastructure, but also the quality of life of the citizens.| Details | |
