Trial for a fatal house collapse in Düsseldorf: Judgments pronounced – "You have to act when someone's messing up"

Almost five years after the accident with two dead people, the criminal trial has now ended – with three sentences and two acquittals. The architect and the construction manager have therefore made serious mistakes.

Construction workers have now arrived at the crash-prone house on Düsseldorfer Straße. What exactly are they doing there? And when is the house habitable again?

On Thursday, in the trial of five defendants, the district court will announce the verdicts, and there were two deaths in the incident.

Almost five years after a house crash with two deaths in Düsseldorf's city centre, the criminal trial against five defendants ends. The prosecutor has applied for probation sentences.
