Brandenburg Police Landline Outage Resolved After Five Hours

Officials attribute the disruption to a server fault not a security incident.

Overview

  • Public-dial landline numbers for police across Brandenburg were unreachable on Wednesday morning, affecting access to some stations.
  • The 110 emergency number operated normally throughout the disruption, preserving urgent response capability.
  • The Digitalisation Ministry said the state's central IT provider handled remediation after the fault surfaced in server systems.
  • Authorities reported no indication of a hack, and the ministry described the incident as non-security related.
  • Service was restored around 13:00 local time after roughly five hours, with no detailed root-cause explanation released.
