Body Found on Leipzig Track 11 Triggers Partial Shutdown and Service Disruptions

The west side of Leipzig Hauptbahnhof remains closed to traffic following the discovery.

Overview

  • DB InfraGO and police confirmed a body on Leipzig Hauptbahnhof’s main track 11, prompting a partial closure that blocked the station’s west side.
  • Regional and long-distance trains were canceled, rerouted or delayed, and parts of the S-Bahn network were affected.
  • Local reporting said at least one ICE was evacuated in Leipzig as police secured the site and opened an inquiry.
  • Two days earlier in Bremen, a 20-year-old who climbed toward the main station roof was secured by responders and taken to psychiatric care.
  • A separate Bremen report of a person being touched by a moving train remains unresolved after searches found only a hat with minor blood traces, with disruptions totaling 104 cancellations and 6,914 delay minutes and drawing complaints about poor information.
