Essen (dpa / lnw) - After a bomb from the Second World War was found in Essen, the city is preparing to defuse it.
The dud in the Rüttenscheid district is to be rendered harmless in the course of Monday, as a city spokeswoman announced on Monday morning.
Accordingly, in addition to residents, a hospital and retirement homes are affected by the evacuation.
Therefore, a great deal of effort is to be expected.
The American five-hundredweight bomb was discovered during construction work on Friday.
In all likelihood, Autobahn 52 near Rüttenscheid will have to be temporarily closed, according to a statement on Friday.
The city's crisis team will decide on Monday morning when and how exactly the evacuation will take place around the location of the bomb, said the spokeswoman.
