In legal terms, the police are responsible for investigating the cause of the fire, with the public prosecutor’s office potentially becoming involved if suspicions of arson are substantiated. Questions about safety and liability remain unresolved for residents and users of the allotment gardens; local authorities have informed the City of Boizenburg/Elbe, and further municipal measures may be taken if buildings or plots are affected. A clearer picture with specific findings from the forensic investigation is not expected until the scene examination is complete.
The facts established so far are the location of the fire (the Abendfrieden allotment gardens), the building affected (the disused “Grünes Herz” pub), when it was discovered (the evening of 29 October 2026) and which emergency crews were called out. The cause of the fire and the amount of damage remain unknown at this stage; the police and fire service are expected to provide further information once their investigations are complete.
