As Ferdinand Reichmann from the Hienheim fire brigade

reported

The emergency services were therefore intensively deployed.

The focus was particularly on protecting cellars or stables that threatened to flood.

Such amounts of rain are unusual, but could happen again and again if the weather comes from a corresponding direction, Reichmann continues.
