Security at the train station: Stadt plans Zaun against dangers along the tracks!

on the edge of the Schöntal, in the immediate vicinity of the railway tracks, residents and the inner -city advisory board are committed to security in their area. This initiative, which has existed for several years now, pursues a clear goal: securing a dangerous place that is enclosed by a new drum rum towards Wolfsburg. In the past, there have already been tragic deaths on the railway line, which made the need for action all the more urgent. Despite these dangers, Deutsche Bahn does not see the responsibility to secure its railway systems against unauthorized entering, such as Rheinpfalz.de reports .

However, the railway shows a form of cooperation by accepting a certificate contract to establish a fence on the ground. The financial aspects of this project are remarkable: the Gestatungs contract itself amounts to around 4,500 euros, while an additional 200 euros are required for the fence and its construction. So far, about half of the amount required has already been promised by donations. The inner city advisory board now hopes for further support from the population to implement the project. Donations can be transferred to the account of the city of Neustadt, whereby the IBAN DE58 5465 1240 0000 0015 03, with the "Drumrumweg" purpose, should be specified.

Gestaltic contract for property owners

In addition to the local security efforts, the cooperation between different parties is highlighted at the higher level. For example, the project company DB Projekt Stuttgart-Ulm GmbH and the Stuttgart House and Land owner Association have developed a model certificate contract that enables owners to use their properties as part of the Stuttgart 21 project. According to

The criteria for compensation include the value of the property, the area used and the depth of the assuminations, also for large depths over 100 meters. Over 800 owners have already concluded stake, which underlines the need and interest in this regulation. In order to minimize possible risks, the contract also provides for clauses that DB AG is liable for damage to the buildings beyond the legally required liability.

striking security initiatives of Deutsche Bahn

In the context of the general security situation on rail systems, Ronald Pofalla, the infrastructure board of Deutsche Bahn, emphasized zero tolerance policy towards violence. bmdv.bund.de emphasizes that the railway works together with the Federal Police to increase security in train stations and trains. By 2024, 1,300 additional posts for the federal police are to be created. In addition, the presence of your own security forces is increased with an annual investment of 10 million euros.

An extensive security concept that is implemented in several German cities aims to identify and minimize sources of danger. The increased use of video technology also plays a role here to document and clarify possible crimes. Over 70 million euros flow into the expansion of video surveillance until 2023. The goal is to equip almost all large train stations with modern video surveillance by the end of 2024. Innovative approaches such as the pilot project in Frankfurt am Main are intended to help increase safety on the platform with special hatching.

The combination of local initiative, national regulation for property owners and the increased nationwide security measures shows how important the topics of security and protection on rail systems are. It is a multilateral effort that has far -reaching effects on the communities and the entire population.
