Commuters in Ludwigsfelde: DB kiosk closed – no end in sight!
Ludwigsfelde train station, a historic location south of Berlin, is currently facing a veritable service gap. The popular DB kiosk at the train station has been closed for some time. Thousands of commuters stream through the station every day, searching in vain for a place where they could quench their thirst or fortify themselves with snacks. Loud maz-online.de This kiosk was part of the “ServiceStoreDB” stores, which are mainly found at small and medium-sized train stations.
The operator of the kiosk has decided not to continue operating under his brand name. This means that the “ServiceStoreDB” brand is in danger of disappearing throughout Germany by the end of 2026. The chances that the kiosk in Ludwigsfelde will open again soon are slim, which represents another challenge for commuters and travelers in the Teltow-Fläming district.
Hope for change
Ali Sagir, the operator of the neighboring Café & Bistro Happy Döner, has shown interest in taking over the closed kiosk. He plans to continue it with his own concept idea, but has so far waited in vain for an answer to his request. This means that the kiosk remains in the shadows for the time being. In addition, he could not be taken over immediately due to a long-term contract with the last operator.
For upcoming events, such as the Brandenburg music school festival Sound City, which takes place from July 25th to 27th, there will be neither a kiosk nor a toilet available to visitors at the station. The Wall toilet at the train station has also been closed for a long time. This could affect the running of the festival as travelers rely on alternative solutions. Sagir, on the other hand, offers drinks and snacks in his bistro and has the toilet open for his guests.
