Massive train failures: Head between Hanover and Berlin damaged!
Deutsche Bahn is currently faced with a considerable storm of problems. The reason for this is a damage to the overhead line on the railway line between Hanover and Berlin, which has resulted in massive impairments in rail traffic since the early morning hours of June 27, 2025. Numerous trains fail or are very late, which particularly affects the popular ICE connections from Bonn via Cologne and Düsseldorf to Berlin. According to T-Online , travelers have to go out of about 30 minutes on the section between Wolfsburg and Berlin. Few connections were even completely deleted.
But not only the route between Hanover and Berlin got it. The overhead line is also damaged in Upper Bavaria, which leads to a complete blocking of the section between Rosenheim and Kufstein. Repairs could be completed on June 22, but chaos shows how vulnerable our rail network is in such situations. Merkur Nightjets from Amsterdam to Innsbruck are affected. So it gets tight for long -distance travelers!
repair work and travel information
Fortunately, Deutsche Bahn is trying to fix the situation and works with high pressure on the repair of the damaged overhead line, which according to the plan should be completed until the lunch hours. In the meantime, the train recommends informing itself about the connections before starting the trip. On the website Bahn.de or via the DB Navigator app can be found. The telephone travel information at 030/2970 is also available.But there are still impairments around Cologne and Düsseldorf. The ICE trains from Berlin, which normally drive to Braunschweig, Frankfurt am Main and on southern Germany and neighboring countries, are also affected. So it turns out that the rail travelers have to struggle all over Germany and have to be patient.
background information and outlook
To support travelers, Deutsche Bahn provides information, including an interactive disorder card and real-time positions on the app, as described on db-bielplan.com In addition, travelers can have notifications sent directly to the cell phone with the delay alarm function.
It remains to be seen how the situation will develop in the coming days. One can only hope that the repair work will be completed quickly so that the rail travelers can soon achieve their goals unhindered and without much delays.
