Storm gusts at 72 km/h: Trees fall on Dresden streets and roofs!

Dresden, Deutschland - Today, on June 9, 2025, violent gusts of wind at speeds of up to 72 km/h have hit the city of Dresden. The winds caused chaos -like conditions when several trees fell over and large branches fell on streets and buildings. The Fetscherplatz was particularly affected, where a massive oak aste crashed on the roof of a bistro. Fortunately, the building remained largely undamaged, but the roof skin was affected.

To avoid further dangers, the fire brigade moved out on Monday morning to eliminate storm -related danger spots. "Cleaning up is a top priority for us," said a fire brigade spokesman. At up to eleven locations, the firefighters worked for volunteers and professional fire brigades to remove fallen trees, broken branches and loose roof tiles. In a remarkable use, a five-meter-high tree was removed on the racecourse in Seidnitz, which blocked a walking and bike path and damaged a fence.

A café on the postplace was Pech when a umbrella covered by the storm gust was pushed against an ambulance, which led to damage. Despite the dangerous circumstances, there have so far been no injuries. Feuerwehr.de also reported further vehicle damage through fallen trees.
