The page was serverd by mw1161 and the errors went away after purging. There were similar reports on de.wikipedia, but we decided that this was just caused by the outage of the media storage system reported on https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump#Outage.

Schnark claimed this task.

That was more than 2 years ago, let's just close it.
