Nothing worked at Stuttgart Central Station: trains stopped running for a short time on Sunday afternoon due to a police operation.
After a standstill of around an hour, the trains started rolling again - in emergency operation due to the strike.
Stuttgart - Due to a police operation, train traffic at Stuttgart main station was temporarily stopped on Sunday afternoon.
The reason for the measures, which began shortly after 11 a.m., were indications of “suspicious people,” said a federal police spokesman.
From 12.20 p.m., train traffic was reopened after a standstill of around an hour.
Because of the rail strike, there wasn't as much going on as usual. The effects were therefore not as big as they would have been on normal Sundays, said a spokeswoman for Deutsche Bahn.
Some trains were diverted.
In the early afternoon, operations continued in strike-related emergency mode.
The travelers had to wait in front of the train station until the matter was clarified.
The federal police asked passers-by on the X platform (previously Twitter) on Sunday afternoon to avoid the area around the train station.
“The situation is under control,” a federal police spokesman emphasized from the start.
There was no danger to the nearby city center.
There was no threat, said the spokesman.
Details were not initially provided.
