According to the fire brigade control center, Alsdorf, Eschweiler and Herzogenrath were particularly affected. In total, the fire brigade was deployed there for about 200 missions.

Heavy rain quickly filled the canals, poured into the cellar and flooded the streets. However, according to preliminary results, no serious damage occurred.

As announced by Deutsche Bahn, a train route between Gellenkirchen and Herzogenrath had to be closed for the time being because rain had caused debris to slide and land on the rails at a level intersection.

The Düren district fire brigade also reported about a dozen operations due to flooding in streets and basements.
