Two people have died and several others remain trapped following the partial collapse of a hotel in Germany.<\/p>\n

Authorities said 14 people were in the hotel at the time – in the wine-making town of Kroev in Rhineland-Palatinate – when one floor of the building collapsed at around 11pm local time on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The body of a woman has been recovered but emergency workers have not yet been able to reach the second victim, a male, rescue operation chief Joerg Teusch told reporters.<\/p>\n

“We have to proceed with caution because the entire building structure is like a house of cards. If we pull on the wrong card, this building is sure to collapse,” he said.<\/p>\n

“There was no option [to use] stairs… entrances, doors or windows, because they were simply no longer there.”<\/p>\n

Five people are understood to have got out unhurt, while four others were rescued including a two-year-old.<\/p>\n

The child’s mother was also pulled to safety, however the father is among those who remain trapped under the rubble.<\/p>\n

“We all had tears in our eyes and I still feel the same now… because when we arrived, when we looked at the building, it looked like we weren’t taking anyone out,” Mr Teusch added.<\/p>\n

Around 250 emergency workers, including drone specialists and teams with rescue dogs, are at the scene.<\/p>\n

Local broadcaster SWR reported witnesses heard a bang and saw a large cloud of dust at the time of the collapse.<\/p>\n

“Due to the nature of the damage, this is an extremely demanding deployment, because emergency personnel can only enter the building with the greatest caution,” police said in a statement, adding contact has been made with some of those who remain trapped.<\/p>\n
