After a bomb threat, Kiel Central Station was closed for almost an hour and a half on Monday.

An anonymous call was received in the morning, as a spokesman for the federal police said.

The building was therefore closed at 11:19 a.m. and everyone had to leave it.

For the time being, no trains were allowed to leave or arrive at the station.

Kiel – Police explosives detection dogs were also used on Monday.

"But nothing suspicious was found," the spokesman said.

At 12.47 p.m. the blocking of the station was therefore found.

According to the railways, there were partial failures in long-distance traffic due to the blockage.
