Bothenheilingen (dpa/th) - The municipality of Bothenheilingen (Unstrut-Hainich district) is planning a benefit event for those affected by the fire on Saturday after the major fire. In addition, the rescue workers who were deployed to fight the fire should be thanked at the event, as local mayor André Hettenhausen told the German Press Agency on Wednesday. In the fire on Monday last week, a four-sided courtyard with a carpentry workshop, apartments and a dance hall burned down to the foundations. 15 people lost their homes. The fire caused serious damage to other buildings.
Hettenhausen said that, among other things, seven music groups should perform. He emphasized that no folk festival in the usual sense is planned, as there is no reason to celebrate. The event should be appropriate to the event. In total, he expects up to 1000 visitors. The "Thüringer Allgemeine" had previously reported.
