The federal police are responsible for security at the train stations.
The next federal police station is in Kassel, but there is also a police station in Giessen.
The officials have missions here for a variety of reasons.
But they often have to deal with rioters - like in the spring when a man at Gießen train station converted an e-scooter into a weapon.
