The 16-year-old student from Essen who is suspected of an attack was arrested in his children's room on Thursday night.
This was described by NRW Interior Minister Herbert Reul (CDU) in Düsseldorf.
A police special task force gained access to the young person's apartment at 4:20 a.m.
His parents were also found there.
Essen - The student is currently being interrogated.
He is under strong suspicion of having planned an attack.
A "whistle-blower" reported to the police, said Reul.
The 16-year-old had previously told him that he wanted to place a bomb in his school.
It is thanks to this whistleblower and the emergency services "that worse things were prevented here." dpa
