Caption: 15 July 2021, North Rhine-Westphalia, Radevormwald: A Malteser truck stands in front of a primary school. The disaster control team takes care of the victims in the gymnasiums. After enormous rainfalls, the authorities in the Bergisches Land fear an uncontrolled overflow of the Wupper dam near Radevormwald. The Oberberg district warned in the evening under the heading "Evacuation" that the water level of the Wupper in the urban area of Radevormwald will swell very strongly in a short time. "There is an acute danger of flooding," the warning said. Residents along the Wupper in the city area were asked to leave the danger zone immediately. Photo: Fabian Strauch/dpa
