Hannes Jaenicke’s house burned down in La
The property is like a “moon landscape”
Hannes Jaenicke’s house in Los Angeles fell victim to the fires in January. The actor cannot continue to enter his property.
For Hannes Jaenicke (65), the devastating forest fires in Los Angeles not only mean the loss of his house – the true extent of the disaster is only now becoming clear. The actor cannot continue to enter the property several months after the destruction of his domicile in Pacific Palisades.
“At the moment we can’t even go to the site. Everything is so poisoned that nobody is allowed to enter their property,” Jaenicke told the “Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung”. The area is the same as a “moon landscape” without any infrastructure.
Reconstruction takes years
The cause of the extreme poisoning lies in the special construction of the region, in which all plastic pipes are. In addition, a lot of termite -resistant paint was used and over 30,000 cars burned down, including many electric vehicles. “Lacquer, PVC, plastic, plastic and chemistry is burned. The rain has flushed everything into the ground,” he says.
It is unclear how the soil is to be detoxified, so it is therefore out of the question of a quick reconstruction. “We are not even in the approval process. There are new fire regulations and an incredible amount of bureaucracy. Until you can do what, certainly two to three years,” the 65-year-old forecast.
“Letting go” lesson ”
Hannes Jaenicke went to school in the USA, also has the US citizenship and has had a second home in California for over 30 years. Already in January he had taken stock after the fire: “I remember something that was still burned every day,” he said at the time. The loss of personal memorabilia was particularly painful – letters from his mother and grandmother, family things, his art collection, his books and his motorcycle.
Despite the enormous loss, Jaenicke tried to see the positive aspect of the disaster. “It was a lesson in letting go,” he reflected. “But I have no reason to whine. In contrast to my neighbors, I was able to get on the plane to Germany and return to my home at the Bavarian Ammersee.”
