From the photo, there seems to have been a substantial-thickness concrete wall and then a brick wall. Obviously, they were still not enough, but it wasn’t just a brick wall.
And about the wooden shelves: So what? They are not security relevant or customer facing, they just need to work as shelves.
That’s a lock box vault, not a standard vault. Those have the people that own the boxes entering them often, so of course everything inside is behind another lock and key. Normal vaults don’t usually ha e strangers entering them.
During the heist at Sparkasse savings bank in the city of Gelsenkirchen, thieves broke open more than 3,000 safe deposit boxes containing money, gold and jewellery.
The article says there were safe deposit boxes so the shelves in the picture were probably used to hold other non-valuable stuff like paperwork.
Nope. You do not have open shelves in a safe deposit boxes room. This is where they started drilling. The room with the safe deposit boxes is on the other side of the hole.
The real safe deposit room seems to be not visible. This here is just the main entrance into the bank. I believe they had a large, reinforced room, separated by thin dry walls, so that they have one publicly accessible area and one where they would store documents internally.
The photo caption says they started from a parking garage. The near side doesn’t look like a parking garage, it looks ransacked. And everything on the floor is under a mosaic censor. The near side in the photo is the vault.
That’s your wishful thinking. The blurred pile is boxes and documents they pulled down and tore open from the wooden shelves.
It says they came in from a parking garage
The “vault” had a brick wall and wooden shelves?

More formal vaults have boxes which are locked in place so that even removing the locked box requires a key.

Thanks. Edited my comment!
The article says they used a parking garage. I think the reason so much is blurred in the picture is that there are documents. This is the bank side
True, thanks, edited my comment.
No. This is where they did the drilling.
