Brandenburg train station: Help for the toilets - petition started!

A petition is causing a stir in Brandenburg: Jörg Rzadkiewicz has taken the initiative to finally remedy the situation with the toilets in the main train station, which have been closed for over three years. According to meetingpoint-brandenburg.de, the toilet facilities have disappeared behind closed doors due to vandalism and the associated inefficiency. Many commuters and tourists are dissatisfied with the closure and urgently want access to functional and clean toilets again.

Rzadkiewicz emphasizes that the provision of toilets is an indispensable part of the city's infrastructure, especially for a city that wants to position itself as attractive for international sports competitions and cultural events. The city of Brandenburg an der Havel has a responsibility to meet the needs of its citizens and guests.

Call to support the petition

The petition is aimed at the town hall and WOBRA, which acts as the owner of the toilet facilities. The call to open is important not only from the perspective of the residents, but also for customers of the catering establishments in the station building, who rely on a pleasant environment. The petition calls for the toilets to be staffed during opening hours or to work with companies such as Sanifair and rail&fresh to ensure the cleanliness and safety of the facilities. The proposal for staffing could help to reduce the vandalism mentioned and regain the trust of users. Of course, funds must be made available to implement these concepts.

What is particularly noteworthy is that those responsible justify the problem surrounding the closure of the toilets on the grounds of economics. “The argument of inefficiency does not apply,” Rzadkiewicz makes clear. “Functioning toilets are a mandatory task for the city and should be a matter of course for all visitors,” adds the initiator of the petition.

Technical solutions to combat vandalism

toilettech.de highlights that innovative approaches to toilet technology can help combat vandalism. Door and flap systems made of robust steel or aluminum improve the resistance of the toilets. Coin-operated machines that are only accessible to authorized personnel could prevent acts of vandalism from having an impact on toilet use.

In addition, the construction of the car wash systems is designed to avoid the accumulation of objects. Additionally, soap, water, and air dispensers are designed to be difficult to damage. These measures can ensure increased quality and cleanliness of public toilets.

The need for action is high for the city of Brandenburg. If the toilets in the important transport hub of the main train station were reopened, not only would the quality of life of commuters be improved, but the first impression of an attractive travel destination would also be strengthened. Rzadkiewicz's petition is a step towards better service for the city's citizens and visitors.
