Kenntnis von Kampfmitteln anzeigen

Have you discovered explosive ordnance or are you not sure whether your find is ammunition? Please inform the police immediately by calling 110 or the local regulatory authority.

Even today, there is a high risk of being injured or even killed if munitions or explosive ordnance are found. The longer they lie in the ground, the more dangerous the ammunition can become. Found munitions are not always recognizable as such at first glance. The size and shape of a munition also do not indicate the danger it may still pose.

In order to protect yourself and others, please inform the police immediately by calling 110 or the relevant public order office whenever you find explosive ordnance.

It is important for the police to know

• WHO are you?
• WHAT have you possibly found?
• Perhaps you have taken a photo with your cell phone and can send it to the police?
• WHEN did you find the ammunition?
• WHERE / WHEN did you discover the explosive ordnance and WHERE can you meet the police to show them the object?

Follow the further instructions of the police or the local regulatory authority.

You may have found explosive ordnance and would like to report the find?

The best and quickest way to do this is to call the police on 110 or the local public order office (Ordnungsamt).

Tell the police: WHO you are, WHAT you think you have found (a brief description of the item or a cell phone photo is helpful), WHEN you found the item, WHERE the ammunition was found and WHERE the location is, WHERE you can meet the police.

This information makes it easier for the police and also for the ammunition recovery service to make further decisions.

Please follow further instructions from the police or the local regulatory authority.

The police or the local regulatory authority will clarify further measures together with the ammunition recovery service at the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern State Office for Central Tasks and Technology of the Police, Fire and Disaster Protection.

Processing takes place immediately after the explosive ordnance find is reported.

If you do not report the discovery of possible explosive ordnance, you are exposing yourself and other people to great danger. You may even be liable to prosecution.
