Aachen Central Station Reopens After Bomb Threat Evacuation

Police deemed the threat not credible after checks.

Overview

  • The station, which was evacuated Thursday after a bomb threat, reopened a little after 3 p.m. following police checks.
  • Federal police spokesman Bernd Küppers said the call reached the control center at 2:07 p.m. local time.
  • Landespolizei working with Bundespolizei deemed the threat not credible after roughly an hour on site.
  • Deutsche Bahn rerouted or held trains, leading to delays, partial cancellations, and lingering knock‑on waits for travelers in the Aachen area.
