Füssen/County - Overflowing cellars and underground car parks and a cleared supermarket - a heavy storm fell over the Königswinkel in the afternoon.
This afternoon, a severe storm with heavy rain, hail and strong gusts of wind raged over Füssen and the southern Ostallgäu for almost three quarters of an hour, which is likely to have caused considerable damage.
It is still unclear in the early evening whether there were any injuries.
By the early evening, the Füssen fire brigades and those in the surrounding towns had to be deployed around 125 times, reports Füssen Mayor Maximilian Eichstetter (CSU) at around 5:30 p.m.
At 7.30 p.m., according to the head of town hall, all the defenses were still in use.
A busy evening is likely ahead of you, especially since the weather services are forecasting further thunderstorms and rain for the Füssen region for tonight and overnight.

The police had not yet made an assessment of the situation by the evening.
The resulting property damage is likely to be in the hundreds of thousands of euros.
Numerous cellars and public and private underground car parks were full.
Due to the penetrating water, the net market at the Luitpoldkreisel had to be evacuated.
Countless cars were damaged by the severe hailstorm.
