The ordnance disposal service did not find a bomb in Göttingen. The suspicion has not been confirmed, said city spokesman Dominik Kimyon. The previously initiated evacuation is over. All people could return to their homes, the spokesman said. Instead of a bomb, the ordnance clearance service found tin barrels, slag and clay tiles.
After an initial investigation of the ordnance disposal experts, it was first communicated that the object discovered during construction was a World War II bomb. A short time later, the city then corrected their information.
A no-fly zone was also set up
In Göttingen about 14,000 people had to leave their homes because of the suspected bombs in the morning. The railway traffic rested in the university city. The train had called travelers to inform themselves about current restrictions.
A no-fly zone had also been set up above the restricted area. However, it had no effect on regular scheduled air traffic, as a spokesman for the German air traffic control said.
