Military collaboration in Herne: Cooperative training event

On September 6, 2025, a joint emergency exercise is scheduled to take place at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum campus on Widumer Straße, Herne. The exercise, which will simulate an emergency situation, is crucial for all participating forces, including the Herne Fire Department, Herne Police, emergency services partners, St. Elisabeth Group, Marien Hospital Herne, and the university.

The exercise is set to commence at 9 a.m. and conclude around 4 p.m. During this period, increased noise levels may be experienced in the surrounding area due to the involvement of emergency vehicles from the police, fire department, and rescue services. It is noted that these vehicles will be using special rights to ensure a smooth flow of operations.

To facilitate communication and provide updates, a press officer from the Herne Fire Department, René Bonn, will be available at the campus entrance on Josef-Prenger-Straße from 10:30 a.m., identifiable by a green vest with "Press Spokesperson" written on it. Marco Bischoff from the Police can be contacted at [email protected] or 0234 909-1021 for inquiries. Additionally, Dr. Daniela Lobin from St. Elisabeth Group can be reached at [email protected] or 02325 9862660 for queries related to their participation. St. Elisabeth Group will also have a press officer available at the same location and time.

The exercise will focus on a high degree of realism, with many participants made up to appear as injured or affected persons. Widumer Straße will be temporarily closed to traffic to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the exercise.

Regular exercises are essential for all participating forces to maintain readiness and response capabilities in emergency situations. Members of the public are advised to expect increased activity in the area on the day of the exercise and to follow any instructions given by emergency personnel.

It is important to note that, as of the current search results, the police spokesperson for Bochum available for interviews on September 6, 2025, before the planned joint exercise is not explicitly named. However, all other inquiries can be directed to the contacts provided above.
