Police switch to red: Increased controls in Bremen train stations!
In recent days, the security situation at train stations in northern Germany has come into focus. From today, November 15, 2025, the police will be carrying out increased checks at the main train stations in Bremen, Hamburg and Hanover. These measures are part of a nationwide campaign aimed at preventing crimes and identifying suspects at an early stage. The hope on the part of the authorities is that the increased police presence will strengthen the feeling of security of travelers and railway employees, as buten un binnen reports.
A similar operation was carried out in October 2025, in which 23 outstanding arrest warrants were executed and 80 investigations were initiated. The action underlines the police's determination to ensure a safe travel environment and respond to increased crime levels.
Crime statistics at train stations
Security at train stations is also in the light of current statistics from the Federal Police, which documented worrying figures in the first half of 2025. A total of 14,047 violent crimes, 26,613 property crimes and 17,595 property damage crimes were registered. The breakdown of the suspects is particularly revealing: 7,565 non-German and 5,375 German suspects were involved. However, the majority of property crimes remain without named perpetrators, which highlights the security challenges. bundestag.de provides information about details of this recording.
The figures show that most violent crimes were registered at Leipzig Central Station (426), while Hamburg Central Station has the highest rates of property crimes, with 1,570 reported cases. When it comes to sexual crimes, Dortmund tops the list with 29 registered cases.
Outlook on security at train stations
Looking at the current situation, it must be noted that the federal police and politicians are called upon to continue to strengthen citizens' sense of security. The expanded controls are a first step in the right direction and could help travelers feel more comfortable on their journeys.
The measures that come into force today are not only a response to crime, but also a sign of solidarity with all those who travel through train stations every day. The police hope to restore confidence in security at these junctions with more presence and control.
