Fire in Dresden State Operetta: Fire Brigade fights against flames!
On the evening of June 7, 2025, a fire broke out in the old state operetta in Dresden-Leuben. The alarm went into the fire brigade at 7:37 p.m. and quickly turned out that the roof structure of the building is on fire. The fire brigade is on site with several turntable ladders and around 60 emergency services to control the situation. A strong smoke development can be observed, with the cloud of smoke changed due to changing winds in its direction.
Fortunately, no people have been found in the building so far. However, a firefighter had to be treated on an outpatient basis for circulatory problems. The emergency services have decided to burn the roof structure in a controlled manner in order to get better to the fire stove. Entering the building is assessed as too dangerous, which makes the extinguishing work considerably more difficult.evacuations and restrictions
In the vicinity of the fire location, residents in the area were asked by one kilometer, keeping windows and doors closed and switching off ventilation systems. For safety reasons, two adjacent residential buildings were also evacuated as a precaution. The Pirnaer Landstrasse is fully blocked due to the operation, which leads to further traffic disruptions.
The Dresden transport companies have already reported several failures and diversions: line 2 is diverted from cemetery Leuben to Laubegast, line 46 drives from cemetery Leuben to Albert-Wolf-Platz and the Altleuben stop cannot be approached from line 65.
traditional event location
The State Operetta Dresden, which has over 240 years of tradition as a musical folk theater, has been housed in the former inn in Leuben since October 1947. In December 2016 she moved to the center of the city. This fire represents a bitter blow for the cultural institution.
A similar major fire occurred on Friday morning in an empty building in Dresden-Neustadt, which was deleted around 3 p.m., which the fire brigade teams probably took. The extinguishing work in the state operetta is expected to continue until Saturday, while the emergency services continue to work on site. For the latest developments on the fire, it is advisable to take a look at MDR and [SPIEGEL] (https://www.spiegel.de/panorama/dresden-brand-in-hemaliger-staatoperette-a-db6b5-c75e-4b65-89b681c222222222222222
