Overview
- Police began evacuating and partially closing areas of the 24-hour cross-border flea market and Konstanz station on Sunday after receiving a bomb threat.
- Officials described the situation as an unclear threat and kept the immediate area around the Germany–Switzerland border with Kreuzlingen sealed for searches.
- Police later reported finding a suspicious object during on-site checks while stressing that, after their assessment, there is no concrete danger to the public.
- Regional rail operators are running Schienenersatzverkehr and some bus routes have been diverted so passengers can bypass the closed station.
- Unaffected parts of the market remain open but the closures have disrupted cross-border pedestrian flow and local travel, and authorities say the investigation is ongoing.
