Theatre Square in Weimar: Woman exhibits violent outburst

In the city of Weimar and its surrounding districts, several incidents have been reported over the weekend, ranging from a disturbance at Theaterplatz to a series of traffic accidents.

On Saturday afternoon, a 47-year-old woman, known for her psychiatric issues, caused a disturbance at Theaterplatz. She was seen shouting at passersby and attempting to physically attack them with her bag and objects. Witnesses report that she allegedly kicked an unidentified victim in the groin during the incident. The Weimar Police apprehended the woman and took her for psychiatric treatment.

Later that day, around 6:30 PM, a 50-year-old woman from Weimar was reportedly driving under the influence of alcohol on Rießnerstraße. The woman drove her vehicle up to a casino and entered it, where an alcohol breath test showed nearly 2 promille. As a result, her driver's license was confiscated, and a blood test was ordered. The woman now faces a criminal trial for drunk driving.

No additional information was given about any other incidents involving drunk driving in Weimar. However, in the early hours of Sunday, a 38-year-old BMW driver was stopped during a traffic control on Berkaer Straße, showing a value of just under 0.9 promille in a voluntary alcohol test.

Elsewhere in the region, a tragic accident occurred in the Eichsfeld, where a wheelchair user fell down a wall, resulting in a fatal injury. In the Wartburg District, a 15-year-old moped driver was seriously injured in an accident, while a 28-year-old motorcyclist lost his life in a serious traffic accident in the Gotha District.

In a separate incident, hundreds of beer cases tipped over from a truck on the A73 on-ramp, causing it to be temporarily closed. Witnesses or victims are asked to call the number (03643) 88 20 for further information.

A break-in at a construction site in Weimar was also reported, but no further details were provided. In a bizarre turn of events, the burglar is said to have used a bucket as a toilet and abseiled with a cable.

Lastly, a forest fire continues to spread on the Saalfeld Heights, with no immediate reports of containment or extinguishing efforts.
