Two people were found dead and six others were pulled from the rubble on Wednesday after a hotel partially collapsed in western Germany.
A spokesman for the emergency services said someone was still trapped in the remains of the building in the Moselle town of Kröv in the Rhineland-Palatinate state. Rescue workers were in contact with the woman and hoped to free her by the end of the day.
The tragedy occurred late Tuesday night when a floor of the hotel collapsed, killing 14 people.
Two people were killed. One of them was a woman born in 1961, whose body was found later in the afternoon on Wednesday, while the body of another man has not yet been recovered from the rubble.
Five people were able to escape immediately, but seven people were trapped in the building overnight. Six of them were rescued on Wednesday.
Among the rescued were a 2-year-old boy, his mother and his father. They were seriously injured.
Photos of the disaster show parts of the building collapsed and concrete rubble on the ground.
Public broadcaster SWR reported that the fire brigade was initially unable to enter due to the risk of further collapse. Adjacent buildings were also evacuated.
Investigations were underway to determine why the hotel collapsed. Local authorities said the structure of the building likely dates back to the 17th century, while construction work was also underway on the hotel on Tuesday.
