Fire Causes Extensive Damage to Miramar Water Park, Delays Reopening Until 2025

The blaze destroyed the salt and crystal spa area, with damages exceeding initial estimates of €10 million, and investigations are ongoing.

The Miramar water park near Mannheim suffered significant damage from a fire that destroyed its salt and crystal spa area earlier this week.
Reopening has been postponed to March or April 2025, as the extent of the damage and safety concerns are greater than initially anticipated.
Authorities have not yet been able to inspect the site due to structural instability, with parts of the ceiling at risk of collapse.
The fire is believed to have been caused by a technical defect in a maintenance room, with no evidence of foul play or injuries reported.
The park's management has assured that the facility will be rebuilt, and no layoffs are planned for its 130 employees during the closure.
