World War II bombs found on building site

A bulldozer working on a building site in the town centre discovered two 15kg incendiary bombs on Wednesday morning (2nd April, 2014).  One of them so damaged so badly, that a substance leaked out of it, that turned into a light-coloured smoke on contact with the air.

The building site and surrounding area were cordoned off and evacuated.

The bomb disposal service arrived quickly and were decided that as there was no immediate danger, they would remove them to dispose of them elsewhere.

A search was carried out for further items but nothing was found.

Hohemarkstraße partially one-way

Traffic going out of the town is being diverted along either the Mainstraße or Heidegraben, and then along the Dornbachstraße.

Traffic going from the Hohemark towards the town centre can remain on the Hohemarkstraße.

Taunusstraße one-way until mid-May

The roadworks are expected to last until 17th May, 2014, during which time the road will be re-surfaced, new pipes will be laid, and the road crossings will be upgraded to make them better accessible.

The bus routes 41, 44, 47 and 48 use the diversion in both directions.  The bus stops “Reifenberger Straße” and “Pfaffenweg” have been re-located around the corner to take this into account.
