Federal police impose a ban on weapons in Hamburg-Bahn!

Hamburg, Deutschland - The Federal Police Directorate Hanover has extended the general disposal for the driving ban of dangerous tools until March 31, 2025. Firearms, cutting, shock and stab weapons and knives of all kinds are affected. This is done in response to an increase in assault offenses with weapons in public space, especially in rail traffic. Compliance with this order is intensively monitored. Violations can result in references, station bans or even criminal proceedings according to the weapons law.

Particularly important: The carrying of weapons is subject to strict regulations and can be prohibited without approval. The federal police warn that weapons often do not increase security, but can increase the willingness of violence and have the situation escalating. In dangerous situations, the authorities recommend the use of shrill alarms to draw attention to their own situation and to deter potential perpetrators.
