Another bomb was found on Brunecker Strasse in Nuremberg.

This time over 500 residents are affected by the evacuation.

The demolition manager is already on site.

Nuremberg - An aircraft bomb from the Second World War was only found four weeks ago during construction work in Nuremberg *.

The December defuse took longer than expected due to initial complications.

Another bomb was discovered on Wednesday morning at an almost identical location on Brunecker Strasse.

According to the city, it weighs 125 kilograms and has two detonators.

It should be defused around 3 p.m.

Demolition master Michael Weiß is already on site with around 130 police, fire brigade and rescue services.

The evacuation radius is 300 meters.

511 people have to leave their homes.
