After the fire at Klesmerplatz on April 8, 2019, Marktstraße had to be closed at the level of the affected buildings for safety reasons. Mayor Frank Klingebiel had campaigned hard in recent weeks for this measure to be lifted quickly. Now that a roofing company has removed loose roof tiles from the buildings affected by the fire, the closure of Marktstraße could be lifted again today.
Market street passable again
Salzgitter, 10 May 2019: This afternoon, the closed section of Marktstraße in Salzgitter-Bad before the junction with Klesmerplatz was reopened to pedestrians in a width of approx. three meters.
