Weapons were found during a search of a residential building in Schleswig-Holstein on Sunday morning.
The explosive ordnance clearance service was therefore called in, according to the Itzehoe police.
According to the public prosecutor's office, the search is part of a larger operation.
There have been searches in several federal states.
Ministry speaks of "incident"
Five suspects are being investigated.
The investigations are at an early stage.
The chief public prosecutor did not comment on the allegation – nor on whether there were arrests.
"Bild" and the Schleswig-Holsteinische Zeitungsverlag report that the suspect from Itzehoe is a Bundeswehr soldier.
When asked by the dpa news agency, the Federal Ministry of Defense only confirmed that there had been an "incident" in Itzehoe.
