Thunderstorm Triggers Emergency Response Operations in Ludwigsburg County on Friday Morning

In the early morning hours of Friday, August 28, 2026, a severe thunderstorm struck, particularly in Bietigheim-Bissingen, Ingersheim, and Pleidelsheim, as well as parts of the neighboring municipalities. According to current information, the thunderstorm resulted in approximately 100 emergency calls in the county.

The causes of the emergency calls included, among other things, fallen trees, flooded roads, and isolated cases of water in basements. In addition, reports were received of collapsed construction fences, for example. Based on current information, no one was injured.

Emergency responders were on the scene—and in some cases remain so—to address damage and eliminate further hazards, as well as to clear traffic routes.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to all emergency responders and fire departments who were dispatched in the early morning hours and, in some cases, are still on the scene.
