Traffic chaos and safety precautions at the derby in Braunschweig!
An exciting derby is just around the corner: On Sunday, October 25, 2025, the two rivals Eintracht Braunschweig and Hannover 96 will meet in the 2nd Bundesliga at the Eintracht Stadium in Braunschweig. There is great anticipation, but this will also mean significant traffic disruptions that drivers in and around the city should be aware of.
As regionalheute.de reports, the following streets will be completely closed from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.: Rühmer Weg and sections of Hamburger Straße and Gifhorner Straße to the south. However, residents of the Vorwerksiedlung and the Schwarzen Berg can get through these closures. Fans arriving by car should be prepared that parking spaces P1 to P3 at the stadium can only be accessed with a permit. Guests of Eintracht Braunschweig also have to use a shuttle bus from the road traffic office car park on Porschestrasse.
Traffic disruptions at the main train station
The main train station will also be affected by the events, because between 9:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. and from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Ackerstrasse from house number 66A and the exit at the Hauptbahnhof Süd parking lot will not be usable. There is construction work going on here, which makes the situation even more difficult. The south parking lot is reserved exclusively for guest fans of the Westfalenbahn relief train.
The transport companies are using additional light rail, but the “Stadion” stop remains unusable. Instead, passengers can use the “Gesundheitsamt” and “Schmalbachstrasse” stops. If you want to take the bus, you can look forward to additional trips on lines 424 and 426. Nice to know: Admission tickets are valid as a ticket in tariff zone 40 from three hours before the start of the game.
Increased security measures
The police have drawn up an extensive security concept for the match day. A ban on carrying glass bottles, pyrotechnic items, protective weapons and masks was introduced on trains and at train stations between 6 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. and from 3 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. This regulation applies not only to Braunschweig, but also to Hanover, where the derby between the two teams will also take place on Sunday. Fans should avoid the areas around the stadiums as far as possible, as t-online.de reports.
In addition, a new awareness room will be available in the stadium aimed at people affected by attacks or discrimination. This is an important step to ensure visitor safety and address potential emergencies.
The measures put in place are part of a comprehensive security framework that was developed through various technical laws and an interdepartmental working group. The aim is to optimize security at major events, as set out on the website of the Ministry of the Interior im.nrw.
Preparations are in full swing to address contingencies and ensure a safe and exciting derby experience for all involved. Fans and residents should inform themselves in good time about changes in traffic flow and, if necessary, consider alternative transport options. After all, a derby is not just a game, but also a celebration - and it should run smoothly!
