Overview

• The Federal Police has issued an Allgemeinverfügung banning dangerous items at Nuremberg's main station from May 1 to May 31, 2025.
• The measure follows a doubling of violent crimes, many involving knives, at the station between October 2024 and March 2025 compared to the previous year.
• The ban covers all public areas of the station, including platforms, tunnels, and multiple building levels.
• Violators will face confiscation of prohibited items and potential criminal or administrative proceedings.
• This initiative builds on an earlier municipal weapons-free zone around the station and aligns with a national trend to enhance public safety in urban transport hubs.
