Sturmchaos in Neuruppin: Prignitz-Express only runs by bus!

On Friday, June 27th, there were considerable timetable changes on the line of the Prignitz express RE6. There were no trains between Hennigsdorf and Berlin-Charlottenburg until 2 p.m., instead buses had to transport travelers. The reason for this change is the consequences of a thunderstorm that moved over Ostprignitz-Ruppin on Thursday afternoon and led to numerous storm damage. Several trees bent and blocked the railways, which the Neuruppin fire brigade called three times to remove the dangers. The fire brigade in the Temnitz office was also used to remove two fallen trees from the street, such as MAZ-ONLINE.de reported.

Haves and hurricane -like gusts not only ensured chaosphenomena not only in Brandenburg, but also in adjacent federal states like Saxony. There were also fallen trees and flooded streets, especially in the Vogtland, Erzgebirge district, Zwickau and Chemnitz. The police in the Zwickau area had to work through almost 30 missions for the storm. A motorcyclist was seriously injured in Central Saxony, who fell through mud masses, while in Treuen a chimney collapsed with two damaged cars. It remains to be hoped that the situation will soon be relaxed and the clean-up work will be completed quickly, reports [welt.de] (https://www.welt.de/regionales/sachsen/article256259466/unwetter-fuer-fuer--wärteinsaeta-in--in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in

Return to normality

Fortunately, the operation of the Prignitz express RE6 will be recorded regularly between Hennigsdorf and Berlin-Charlottenburg from Friday afternoon. This ensures relief among commuters who hope for a quick return to normal.

An interesting detail is also the planned visit by Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, who travels to Neuruppin on Tuesday, July 1st. Steinmeier will move his official seat in the city for three days and plan to get into conversation with citizens and to visit the Neuruppin University Hospital. Such visits are important to strengthen the connection between politics and citizens, especially in times when extreme weather events affect people more than ever.

natural disasters and their dramaturgy

In view of the recent weather events, it becomes clear that natural disasters, which occur more and more frequently due to weather phenomena and climate change, are not just local problems. According to various studies, weather extremes are reinforced worldwide, which has a major impact on the population. Because annually millions of people are affected by natural disasters who result in serious social and economic consequences. This applies particularly to Asian countries that often suffer from devastating storms, floods and other climate impacts, while Europe is comparatively less at risk. This is shown by the analysis on Statista.com, which deals with the global trends and regional differences.
