Overview
- EnBW said an equipment fault at the Villingen substation triggered the wider blackout, with the precise technical cause still under analysis and no indication of human error.
- Power in large parts of Schwarzwald-Baar-Kreis was out from 13:25 to 14:17 local time, which the utility described as an unusually long single interruption.
- A regional Gefahreninformation was issued and police asked residents to avoid calling 110 or 112, while fire stations staffed their houses to receive urgent requests.
- Tübingen reported a transformer-house fire on Herrenberger Straße that temporarily cut power to parts of the Altstadt, including the fire station, with most service now restored as crews reconnect remaining customers.
- Netze BW logged an overnight outage in Aichhalden around Kernerweg starting at 00:28, with repairs expected to take several hours, and additional disturbance reports included Furtwangen around 13:52.
