1 April 2026, by ServiceLine

Due to the activation of the sprinkler system in a seminar room, significant amounts of water have entered two IT distribution rooms. To address the damage, the network components in these rooms had to be shut down.

This affects all connection outlets whose labels include “B2West” or “B4West.”

The affected Wi-Fi access points are marked with a red dot in the location list. The location prefix in the list is: Bundesstr. 56b

There is currently no estimate as to when the network will be fully operational again.
