Fatal train accident in Kiekebusch: person hit and deceased!
On August 10, 2025, a tragic incident occurred in Kiekebusch, a district of Cottbus, when a person was hit by a train and fatally injured. The accident occurred at 3:18 p.m. and required emergency services to be called in immediately. They moved to Sachsendorfer Straße, but were only able to determine the death of the person concerned. More precise information about the person's age and gender is currently unknown.
The incident took place at a location with three railway barriers, raising questions about the circumstances and cause. It is currently unclear whether this was an accident or a suicide. The police have already launched an investigation to shed light on the matter. In addition to the authorities, the public is also concerned about the reasons for such incidents, especially since three people have already lost their lives in train collisions in Brandenburg this year. These include tragic accidents that occurred in Brandenburg an der Havel and in Zossen, among others.
Train services interrupted
As a result of the accident, the ODEG train service between Cottbus and Forst (RB46) was interrupted. Affected passengers who were waiting for the railway train were escorted off the train and redirected to alternative transport. The next scheduled train connections at 5:07 p.m. and 5:33 p.m. were therefore no longer available. Passengers are currently waiting for further information to be provided via the railway's official channels.
Such a tragic incident not only causes affected passengers, but also causes a wave of sadness and consternation in the region. Until there is more clarity about the exact background to the accident, the situation will remain tense. The question arises as to what measures could be taken to avoid such tragedies in the future.
The public and the relatives of this tragedy hope that the background and circumstances of the incident will soon be clarified. The incident highlights the importance of safety on railway tracks and the need to discuss prevention and further offers of help.
For more details and updates, it is advisable to keep an eye on local news sources. The reporting is continually updated to do justice to those affected and their families.
