What happened if there is an actual emergency during the Warntag?
I had the same message here in RLP but it said at the end that it is a test alert. Someone in Kassel needs to get an earful.
Dunno about Hessen, but in Rhineland-Palatinate, it clearly said Test.
Even if this was real, what should we do then idk.
Maybe it’s just a warning that u r in Hessen?
It should normally say right there that it is a test. You have to tap through to get that info, but when I first tapped the link it didn’t open and I got a message saying I was offline (which I wasn’t) — not exactly reassuring, even though I did know it was scheduled.
More concerning, though, was that I got the message from Hesse even though I’m in Bavaria.
EDIT: Ah, now I got the Bavarian alert. I get both, which makes sense since I’m close to the border. It was also set out, as far as I can tell, with the highest priority, but the message was “PROBEALARM”.
what about people who have dumbphones ? how should they find out whether it a real of test warning?
Why am I never getting these warnings? My phone can run minecraft but not receive national warnings?
Mine said “Test” in the notification itself in Rheinland Pfalz
When it says check the media… what media? I’m not from here, what’s a good radio channel to check?
Fuck, this was creepy.
imagine what it’s like in Ukraine. to see and hear that several times a day. and then to know that missiles or drones are about to come
It did for me in Bavaria. Good thing, as I hadn’t known about the test warning beforehand and was slightly concerned for a second.
In Hessen at 10:15 it didn’t say Test, it said Warnung. Scared me too, especially because I live in Bayern and it was supposed to be at 11:00. I live near the border though… So I quickly googled and found out that 10:15 is for Hessen and its probably just a bit wrong in geolocation.
Just now at 11:05 the Bayern one also happened and that one started with PROBEWARNUNG.
Silly question, did you guys get the loud annoying sound or was this notification silent? I am used to cell broadcast alerts being horribly loud (in my home country they used it even for storm warnings…) but neither of my devices made a beep. They all showed the alert though.
PROBEWARNUNG in Regierungsbezirk Mittelfranken Do. 13.03.2025 – 11:05 Uhr – Probewarnung – für Regierungsbezirk Mittelfranken – Es besteht keine Gefahr. – Weitere Infos auf https://warnung.bund.de/m/aIs3w52qZgSo – Herausgegeben von: Regierung von Mittelfranken – Katastrophenschutz
I was wondering the same thing. I started looking around and clicking through the link to see what happened.
I was in flight LH181 Ber -Fra when our phones and smartwatches started to ring. WTF. My phone was on fly mode. For a brief moment we thought the warnings came from the aircraft, fun times.
The English alert did not say it was a test.
Oddly enough it showed up on the coffee machine in our work. I get that the machine is running android, but why does it have cellular connectivity? I know for a fact it’s not connected to our wifi
Anyone know if this warning sound always plays on your phone speakers or would it use your headphones if connected? It was mind numbingly loud on speakers so I imagine it would literally deafen me and/or destroy my headphones if I was using headphones at the time.
I didn’t even get a message, I knew it was Warnung Tag but nothing came on the screen. It just beeped for 2min straight. I’m in Cologne.
Plot twist: it’s not s test. *Mushroom cloud starts forming in the distance*
Bayern ran out of beer.
/s
Mine displayed “Test” as well as hearing it multiple times from the news for the past couple of days.
I read Extreme Gefahr and thought Frankfurt was getting nuked or sum. Had to click the link to see its a test. It should say test right in the message.
Was the url not clickable for anyone else?
I had to copy the whole text, paste it into notepad, highlight and copy the url part, open a browser and then paste….
Not great if it’s a real emergency
On Android
In Bavaria it said “this is a test”, maybe Hessen is “special”? 😀
Currently living there after moving from the UK. Thought it was the tea alarm for a second. Just like every first Saturday of the month over here.
I have a question about this. In the hypothetical scenario where we received this message (if it weren’t a test)… what should I do? Should I search beforehand where the bunkers in my city are? Should I go to the Keller in my apartment building?

I still have ptsd from Mannheim incident (I was in the parallel road when it happened). They rang it so much later than when it happened I thought it was still going on! I was locked inside a store and super afraid of leaving

Click the link, it says it’s a test.

This is how a correct test should look (though there still seem to be regional issues):

No, it should probably look more like this:
⚠️Extreme Gefahr!
