Trains stand still: Arson lamely lame at Bernau!

Pasewalk, Deutschland - rail traffic in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is affected by significant disorders today on June 17, 2025. The cause lies in a fire that broke out in the district of Barnim, Brandenburg, near a track. As the Süddeutsche Zeitung made desired progress and should last until the evening.

Trains of ICE line 21 that drive from Baltic Sea resort Binz to Berlin are particularly affected, as well as individual connections of lines 15 and 28 that lead to Frankfurt am Main and Munich. In addition, trains of the Berlin - Eberswalde - Pasewalk - Greifswald - Ostseebad Binz have to be diverted. Keep in important places such as Bernau, Eberswalde, Angermünde, Prenzlau, Pasewalk, Anklam, Züssow and Greifswald, whereby a replacement retention in Neustrelitz is planned. Travelers also have to prepare for delays of up to 20 minutes.

politically motivated arson as a background

At the Hamburg Central Station, numerous long -distance trains also fail, which further tightens the situation. The reason for this is also fires in cable shafts that were placed in several places in Hamburg last night. The Deutschlandfunk reports that the Hamburg police are determined by presumably politically motivated arson. A confession letter circulating on an internet platform, whose authenticity is unclear, indicates possibly ideologically motivated attacks. Federal Transport Minister Wissing described the attacks as a form of terrorism and called for a consistent passage of the rule of law.

These developments are not new; Again and again there are sabotage files on rail systems in Germany. So there were cut cables last year, which significantly impaired train traffic in northern Germany, and in May 2023 a similar incident in the Ruhr area led to far -reaching disorders.

effects on regional traffic

Regional transport is also affected by the incidents, such as the rbb24 There, train traffic has had to be restricted again and again in recent months due to similar arising foundations. While regular operation is now running again in many areas, the consequences of sabotage are still noticeable.

The situation remains tense and travelers should prepare for further inconvenience. The pressure on the security authorities to clarify the background of these incidents is noticeable. In the midst of all this turbulence, it can be hoped that the situation will relax promptly and that rail traffic will soon run smoothly again.
