Memorial Day in Hannover, Germany, 2025
The city of Hannover, Germany, is all set for the annual Nationwide Warning Day, taking place on September 11th at 11:00 AM. The city has built a comprehensive siren warning network in response to changes in geopolitical situations and an increase in natural disasters over the past two years.
Dr. Axel von der Ohe, Hannover's First Mayor and head of the Finance, Order, and Fire Department, emphasises the importance of a diverse mix of warning methods for quickly and independently informing the people of Hannover about special danger situations. This network, a key component in the city's warning system, is now fully completed after the testing of 80 out of 112 sirens last year.
The sirens in Hannover fill a gap in the warning mix with their wake-up function and independence from the mobile phone network. The distinctive siren signal, an ascending and descending tone lasting one minute, is almost inaudible but generates an effective warning and wake-up effect.
The newly built sirens in Hannover are a crucial part of the city's warning system. They enable quick, location-independent warning of the population. Cell broadcasting, which is direct targeting of mobile phones, will be part of the test warning.
Inquiries can be directed to the Fire Department Hannover, specifically to Christine Reime, at 0511 912-1293 or [email protected]. Further information about the siren warning network can be found on the Fire Department Hannover's website at https://www.feuerwehr-hannover.de.
A flyer on the topic is also available in ten different languages. For more information about the nationwide warning day, visit the official website at https://www.bbk.bund.de/DE/Warnung-Vorsorge/Bundesweiter-Warntag/bundesweiter-warntag_node.html.
The siren system is just one part of the extensive warning means offered by the city of Hannover. These include cell broadcasting, warning apps, loudspeaker vehicles, warning channels on the internet, radio and television, and digital city information boards.
This year, the city of Hannover is ready to ensure the safety and quick information of its residents during the Nationwide Warning Day. Stay informed and prepared.
