VIZ Berlin says wartime munitions found near Groß Glienicke, exclusion zone set for 30 September
VIZ Berlin reports that the city of Potsdam informed it that a larger quantity of World War II munitions was found during a systematic search tied to forestry work commissioned by the federal property administration in the woodland north of Groß Glienicke. According to VIZ Berlin, Brandenburg's ordnance disposal service plans to carry out a controlled detonation of the munitions on Wednesday, 30 September, and a 1,500-metre exclusion zone will be set up around the Groß Glienicker Heide for the operation. VIZ Berlin says the exclusion zone includes the Waldsiedlung Groß Glienicke, the Preußenhalle, the State Office for the Environment (LfU), and a shared accommodation facility, among other locations.
