The chaos on the marching railway once again showed how fragile the situation in German rail transport can be. Travelers had to count on unpleasant delays, while the technicians did everything they could to make the railway line accessible again as quickly as possible. The defects on the Eider Bridge were not only a nuisance for the commuters, but also shed light on the overall inadequate infrastructure of rail transport in Germany. This problem was discussed intensively, as was explained in the analysis of Boeckler , which indicates the differences between Germany and other European countries.

The analysis suggests that five central fields of action are crucial for a turn in rail policy in order to be able to offer better and more reliable transport services. These include secure and long -term financing as well as consistent digitization of the infrastructure.
