Markt Schwaben

- Around midnight in the night from Saturday to Sunday, January 23, a major fire devastated a residential and commercial building in the center of Markt Schwaben.

According to initial information, the fire broke out in a Turkish supermarket and apparently spread to the roof structure of the multi-storey building in the form of a flashover over the facade.

Numerous fire brigades from the districts of Ebersberg and Erding fought the flames on the inside and outside with around 10 tubes, including two turntable ladders.

The fire was gradually brought under control after more than an hour.

A spread to the neighboring houses could apparently be prevented.

The damage should be in the high six-digit range.
