The recent catastrophic flooding in West Germany affected various areas, causing widespread disruption and many deaths and injuries.
On Thursday July 15th, the Lazarus Haus Wuppertal was hit with full force by the storm. The Wupper overflowed its banks and flooded the cellars. The electricity in the house went out, the ground floor had to be cleared and preparations had to be made for another impending tidal wave. The fire brigade and the Technisches Hilfwerk (THW) helped with sandbags and emptied the cellar. The electricians went out of their way to restore power.
