Report on the hotel collapse in Kröv: What do we know now?
On August 6, 2024, a tragic hotel collapse occurred in Kröv, which continues to put a great strain on the community to this day. The incident claimed the lives of two people: a 64-year-old woman and a 59-year-old hotel operator. In addition, seven other guests were trapped in the rubble for hours while around 250 emergency services carried out a 24-hour rescue operation to free them. The demolition work after the disaster took several weeks and the consequences are significant for the community's infrastructure.
The Trier public prosecutor's office has now received the report on the cause of the collapse. Martin Rolf, the community's first alderman, expressed the hope that insurance would cover the damage caused. Residents and business owners in particular are wondering whether their insurance will cover the damage caused by the incident. The community's parking lot is sinking and several club buildings are also affected, causing additional problems for the community.
Evaluation of the report
The report was commissioned to clarify the exact causes of the hotel collapse. The materials needed for the investigation have been secured. However, it remains unclear how long it will take for the public prosecutor's office to evaluate the report. The senior public prosecutor, Peter Fritzen, stated that he could not provide any information about the cause of the collapse because the investigation had not yet been completed. Discussions between the investigating officers and the expert are also still ongoing.
The results were originally scheduled to be published at the end of March 2024. However, given the tragedy of the incident, the delays are understandable. At the same time, the residents and the community hope for quick clarification and clarification of liability issues so that the necessary steps can be taken to restore the damaged infrastructure.
