Forstenrieder Park in Neuried: Bomb found in the forest

A dangerous World War II relic, a 'stick incendiary bomb', was discovered by a walker in Forstenrieder Park, Neuried, prompting a police response.

On Saturday afternoon, a pedestrian discovered a hazardous item in the Forstenrieder Park in Neuried, which turned out to be a World War II stick incendiary bomb. According to the police inspection from Planegg, the bomb was found around 4 PM in a wooded area that is not frequented by the public. The authorities reacted swiftly to the situation, isolating the area to ensure public safety.

The police reported that the discovered incendiary bomb, measuring approximately 30 centimeters in length, was a dud from the Second World War. After securing the area, specialized police units successfully removed the bomb. This incident highlights the lingering dangers posed by unexploded ordnance from past conflicts that can still be found in various locations throughout Germany, particularly in parks and rural areas.

Fortunately, the discovery did not pose a threat to the general public as the find was located away from often-used paths. However, it serves as a reminder for communities to remain vigilant about reporting suspicious finds in natural settings, promoting safety and awareness regarding the potential hazards from historical military remnants.
