Magdeburg's rail chaos: Train failure and annoyed traveler at the main train station!

This morning, July 19, 2025, the platform at Magdeburg Central Station filled with travelers early on. At 7:25 a.m., many were waiting for their trains, but a failing regional express caused resentment: the RE 30 to Halle, which was to take off at 7:34 a.m., failed without further explanations or excuses. This unclear Situation let many travelers look annoyed at their smartphones to check alternative routes and see whether the next train might not be able to come faster. The patience was asked because the next train should only drive an hour later. Fortunately, some had already secured their seats in advance and were able to cool off a little with the functioning air conditioning system.

interesting scenes also played out: an older lady with her grandson watched the movement of the travelers while waiting for their journey. The main station is not only a traffic junction, but also a contact point for art and culture. The exhibition "Bienvenue La France! #5" is currently running in the Moritzhof, which can still be seen until August 10th. Here photographs show enjoyment and everyday life from France, captured in beautiful landscapes and special moments.

cultural offers and events

The city has even more to offer: in the puppet theater Villa p. Expect a impressive collection of figures by the end of the week. With over 1,200 dolls and objects on more than 650 square meters, guests can immerse themselves in the world of puppet show. There is also an exciting special exhibition that deals with "narrative objects-digital excavations in the puppet show fund". On Wednesdays to Sundays is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., so that there is also time for a visit in the afternoon.

Another highlight will be pending next Saturday: The marina Open-Air Festival will open its doors from 3 p.m. and promises an entertaining program with live acts on the seaside stage. If you want to secure tickets, you should do this in advance for 20 euros; At the box office you cost 25 euros. A visit to the festival could be worthwhile, not only because of the music, but also because of the summer atmosphere at the marina.
