Frankfurt Signs Security Pact to Boost Safety at Central Station and Key Hubs

Officials detailed steps focused on more patrols, weapons-zone monitoring, frequent raids.

Overview

  • The city, federal and state police, Deutsche Bahn, and the Frankfurt transport company signed a cooperation agreement on Monday to improve security and the quality of stay.
  • Planned measures include increased patrols, preventive briefings for travelers on pickpocketing risks, continuous enforcement of the weapons-ban zone, closer joint analysis of station video systems, and more frequent raids.
  • A major operation with roughly 200 officers took place at midday, which the interior minister said was the 14th raid this year in the area.
  • The effort extends beyond the Hauptbahnhof to hubs such as Hauptwache, Konstablerwache, and Frankfurt-Höchst.
  • Officials said the goal is to make the station district less attractive for criminal activity and to improve conditions for residents, visitors, and passengers.
