Police posted similar tweets from western Neunkirchen and Kaiserslautern, eastern Chemnitz and central Goettingen. Police in the southwestern city of Kaiserslautern told NBC News that an employee of the city hall found an email in the"general email box" this morning at 8:00 a.m. local time, in which an unidentified sender had claimed that"an explosive device had been deposited in the building."
Police immediately decided to evacuate the 21-story high-rise building and are presently searching the premises. German media reports also say that the city of Rendsburg has been affected as well. Bild daily cited one police force as saying the threat level was unchanged.
