Expanded prohibition at Bremen central station: German authorities expand ban on hazardous equipment, firearms, terror weapons, electric stun devices, and all types of bladed weapons
The Federal Police Directorate Hannover has announced an extension of the general decree banning certain items at Bremen Central Station. The decree, which was originally issued by Constantin Mihaila, the Federal Police Director in Hannover, is aimed at enhancing the safety of all travellers.
The extension is valid from Monday, September 1, 2025, 00:00 to Tuesday, September 30, 2025, 24:00. The validity area of the decree encompasses the entire building section of Bremen Central Station, including the platforms, with the Bürgerweide passage being excluded.
The extension of the decree is a response to concerns about bodily injury offenses using weapons and dangerous tools, such as knives. Violations of the bans may result in a ban from the premises, a station house ban, or denial of transport. A potential criminal/offense procedure under the Weapons Act may also occur.
Federal Police deployment forces will monitor compliance with the ordinance, and uncooperative individuals may be subject to a penalty fee. Andreas Meier, Deputy President of the Federal Police Directorate Hannover, supports the extension of the general decree for the safety of all travellers.
