Title:
Abstract:	Am Abend des 5. Mai 2015 entwickelten sich in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern mehrere Tornados. Durch einen dieser Tornados, der die Intensität F3 auf der Fujita-Skala bzw. T6 auf der TORRO-Skala erreicht hat, wurde fast jedes Gebäude in der historischen Altstadt von Bützow geschädigt. Der Beitrag stellt die komplexe Einwirkungscharakteristik von Tornados auf Bauwerke sowie die gebräuchlichen Tornadoskalen vor und gibt einen Überblick über die vorgefundenen Bauwerksschäden im betroffenen Gebiet. Die gewonnenen Erfahrungen lassen aus Ingenieursicht einen Forschungsbedarf hinsichtlich eines Bewertungssystems für die Schäden und die Verletzbarkeit der lokalen Bebauung gegenüber einer Tornadoeinwirkung erkennen. The tornado of Bützow in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern - engineering analysis of the building damage Several tornadoes developed in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern during the evening time of May 05, 2015. One of these tornadoes reached the intensity F3 on the Fujita-scale or T6 on the TORRO-scale and damaged nearly all buildings in the historic center of the town Bützow. The paper presents the complex load characteristics of tornadoes to buildings as well as the common tornado scales and gives an overview of the structural damage in the affected area. From an engineering point of view the gained experience shows a need for further research into an evaluation system for the damage and the vulnerability of the local building stock due to a tornado action.
