The Europaallee-Passage at the Herold-Center in Norderstedt may remain closed for weeks after a fire. Traders face a shutdown that could last for weeks, and the structural condition of the damaged roof is in doubt.
The fire left a hole in the roof, and the building has been cordoned off. The cause of the blaze is still unclear. Passers-by have repeatedly stopped at the entrance to the shopping passage to look at the damage.
