Cologne Fair Resumes After Power Outage

Published: 2024-11-02

The Deutzer Kirmes in Cologne is back in full swing after a power outage temporarily halted festivities on Friday evening.

The outage, caused by a technical defect in a main power relay, led to the activation of an emergency switch, cutting off electricity and leaving some guests stranded on rides.

Fortunately, all were safely evacuated without injury.

The issue was resolved by late Friday night, allowing the fair to resume normal operations by Saturday noon.

Visitors can enjoy the attractions as usual until the event concludes this Sunday.
