once more: Rammstein in the Ruhr area

The appearance of Rammstein in Gelsenkirchen not only results in music fans, but also considerable traffic problems. With the journey to the concerts on Monday, July 29th, and Tuesday, July 30, spectators should be prepared for delays. In the run -up to the event, the authorities have already dealt with the traffic and the logistical difficulties that will bring additional challenges.

rail traffic and crowds

The city of Gelsenkirchen has announced that Deutsche Bahn will also carry out construction measures on central routes in the Ruhr area during the Rammstein concerts in addition to the already planned special trains. These measures lead to significant disabilities and failures in rail traffic, especially on the days of the events. This could be frustrating for many concert goers who are dependent on the train.

Preparation and patience are required

The city expressly called on the fans to prepare for the journey at an early stage and to find out more about the current departure times and opportunities at Deutsche Bahn or the Rhein -Ruhr transport association (VRR). This important measure is intended to help visitors arrive not only on time, but also bring patience on departure. Special trains should run to Duisburg Central Station and on to Düsseldorf every half hour between 10:45 p.m. and 1:45 a.m.

Alternatives to arrival

In order to enable visitors to travel without stress, the city has set up additional Park + Ride parking spaces on the Zoom Erlebniswelt and the Ewald colliery. A shuttle service will support the transport between these parking spaces and the Veltins-Arena. These options could be a welcome relief for many fans, especially for those who prefer to travel by car.

reactions and disappointments

The measures that the city of Gelsenkirchen and Deutsche Bahn take are in the shade of dissatisfaction with the construction site -related restrictions. It is noted that the short -term closures in the rail network are not very understandable, especially since the appointment of the concerts has long been known. This has led to irritation among the citizens who were looking forward to a smooth concert experience.

Overall, the upcoming Rammstein concerts in Gelsenkirchen illustrate the need for better coordination between major events and public transport providers. Fans are called to plan forward to master the challenge of arrival and departure.
