Strong gusts of wind block the S-Bahn: Berlin in chaos!
The storm has Berlin firmly under control on Monday evening, June 23, 2025. All S-Bahn traffic in the capital was stopped due to strong gusts of wind. Loud Mercury The Berlin S-Bahn informed the Berlin S-Bahn about the suspension of train services via social media at 5:25 p.m. Many branches and trees have blocked the tracks and clearing of the tracks has already begun.
Additionally reported Daily Mirror that the fire department is making several calls because of the storm. Clean-up efforts are in full swing across the city and an increased number of operations are being recorded. Even though some injuries have been reported, there is currently no comprehensive overview of the entire damage situation.
Damage and transportation options
The squalls reach wind speeds of up to 100 km/h, with even 105 km/h measured in Brandenburg an der Havel. The German Weather Service warns of further severe thunderstorms and hurricane-like gusts. Even if the S-Bahn and various bus lines are suspended or only run to a limited extent, the S-Bahn recommends using alternative means of transport.
The traffic information center (ViZ) provides information about closed or restricted roads in Berlin and the surrounding area. For example, Heerstrasse, Schönwalder Allee in Hakenfelde and Invalidenstrasse in Mitte are among those affected. The reports of fallen trees, such as those in front of the Gethsemane Church in Prenzlauer Berg or on Petersburger Straße at the corner of Landsberger Allee, are particularly tragic.
