Railway closure before Brandenburg-Day: Perleberg expects 100,000 guests!

Perleberg, Deutschland - The Brandenburg Day in Perleberg, which takes place from September 12th to 14th, not only brings anticipation with it, but also organizational challenges. With up to 100,000 expected visitors, the organizers are faced with the task of making the journey smoothly. The railway line between Berlin and Hamburg will be closed to rail traffic from August 1st. This means that many visitors will be dependent on the car to get to the event, such as

To make it easier to make travel, the city of Perleberg has set up three large parking spaces with a total of up to 8,000 parking spaces. These are located at the Eichhölzer Weg (south), Berliner Straße (east) and Quitzow (west). For a fee of 5 euros per person and day from the parking lot to the event area in Wittenberger Strasse, the visitors bring shuttle buses. To ensure that drivers do not get stuck in traffic jams, a parking space control system is installed on all main access roads.

traffic adjustments and challenges

The currently planned railway closure brings uncertainties. Transport Minister Detlef Tabbert has announced that up to 80 out of 208 planned buses in the rail replacement traffic in Brandenburg should be deployed. The replacement traffic will be carried out with four regular and three express lines, which guarantee both cross-connections and some direct options. Nordkurier leads the lines as follows:

• Regular lines:
• line P: Perleberg via Quitzow and Karstädt to Parchim.
• line R: Kyritz via Wusterhausen and Neustadt to Nauen and Falkensee.
• line S: Wittenberge via Bad Wilsnack, Glöwen, Havelberg and Breddin to Kyritz.
• Line T: Quitzow and Perleberg over Weisen, Wittenberge, Geestgottberg and Seehausen to Osterburg.
• Express lines:
• Line X4: Wittenberge via Quitzow, Kyritz, Nauen and Wustermark to Brieselang.
• line X8: Perleberg, Quitzow, Karstädt to Schwerin.
• line X9: Quitzow, Karstädt to Schwerin.

A crucial stop will be "Perleberg, Quitzow" because it acts as an important transfer point in replacement traffic. The bus station in Perleberg is also accessible, which is important for many visitors. In order for visitors to be optimally informed, the timetable for replacement traffic will be published in good time and the availability of the ordered buses is regularly checked.

A look at the future

Despite these challenges, city spokesman René Hill expresses the hope that the railway closure will not have too much impact on the number of visitors to the Brandenburg tag. Events like this are not only a great opportunity for the local community, but also a way to strengthen the tourism industry in the region, which is documented by the statistics of commercial passenger transport and bus out traffic, such as Statistics-berlin-Brandenburg shown.

The challenges are great, but with a good knack in the organization, the days in Perleberg should be a complete success!
