Explosive discovery on the grounds of the Salzburg State Hospital: During the work, a chest that could contain war relics was discovered in a previously unknown tunnel. In the evening the all-clear was given
During the new construction of Internal Medicine III at the University Hospital of Salzburg, a tunnel was found during archaeological research that was not shown on plans and maps. An inspection Wednesday afternoon discovered a coffin that may have contained war relics. The police then cordoned off the excavation site and alerted the Ministry of the Interior’s harmless service.
In the evening, explosives experts discovered several packages wrapped in oil cloths and the escape of a foul-smelling liquid, said clinic spokesman Wolfgang Fürweger. However, analysis of several samples showed that the contents of the box were not explosive material. A base for ointment may have been preserved.
The demolition agency has released the find for disposal. There has never been any danger to employees, patients or visitors. No evacuations were necessary during the operation. The tunnel probably dates from the time of the Second World War.
