Elbphilharmonie medical emergency: 44 people fall ill
A major medical emergency occurred at the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg on Thursday morning, involving approximately 44 people. The individuals, many of whom were extras participating in a secret international film production, reported symptoms including nausea, vomiting, and dizziness.
Emergency services, including around 40 personnel from the fire department and rescue services, responded to the scene. While most of the affected individuals were classified as having mild illnesses, two people were treated as seriously ill and transported to nearby hospitals for further medical care.
There is a strong suspicion of food poisoning, potentially linked to catering provided during the overnight film shoot. Although the specific production remains confidential, officials indicated that scheduled concerts at the venue were expected to proceed as planned.
