"It was a sound like a tractor dumping a load of boulders," Carmen Flemming describes the moment of the accident. The owner of the Flemming rose farm in Karlstein was watering the plants with her husband Maik when the loud bang made her jump.
It wasn't paving stones that hit the ground, but an approximately 70-meter-long rotor blade from a V150 wind turbine (Vestas Germany).
According to the Brandenburg State Energy Portal, this 123-meter-high (hub height) turbine was commissioned on September 26, 2019. It was installed in the Lübbenow 3 wind farm between Karlstein and Trebenow (Uckerland). A request from the Uckermark Kurier to the operator, Notus Energie in Potsdam, regarding the possible cause of the accident has so far remained unanswered.
