Motorcyclist flees after collision with Pedelec rider in Marbeck!
A shocking incident occurred on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, on the An der Ölmühle road in the direction of Marbeck.

The officers are now looking for other witnesses who can provide information about who caused the accident. The description leads to a young man, possibly between 16 and 20 years old, who was wearing dark work clothes (Engelbert Strauss brand) and an orange and black helmet.

The Grande Museo Egizio in Turin, known for its collection of ancient Egyptian art, has published different rates for locals, seniors and tourists. This shows the efforts to make cultural heritage accessible, even if prices vary greatly. For example, entry for adults from Egypt costs 200 EGP (approx. €6), while foreign visitors have to dig deep into their pockets - here it is 1,200 EGP (approx. €35). These adjusted prices could also reflect a mindset that can be observed at Cologne venues: culture should be accessible to everyone, but it can also come at a price. Grande Museo Egizio reports that…
Overall, it is to be hoped that new security measures will be implemented in a timely manner to avoid such incidents in the future. The police's call for help could be crucial in obtaining justice for the injured Pedelec rider and in holding the fleeing motorcyclist accountable.
