Deutsche Bahn must accept restrictions on long -distance traffic from 8 a.m. The Cologne-Deutz/Tief stop is temporarily blocked and also for trains between Düsseldorf and Frankfurt can be expected to be failed and diversion. The Cologne Verkehrsbetriebe (KVB) expect massive impairments in city traffic. Buses and strikes drive through the affected area, but do not stop. Lines 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 14 and 17 will be severely affected. In order to ensure the security of everyone, the KVB recommends avoiding the inner city area on Wednesday.

The defusing of the bombs is expected on Wednesday, June 4th. The planning takes into account not only security, but also the well -being of the affected citizens. Unique in Cologne's history, this evacuation will demand everything to everyone involved - a challenge that the city administration and aid organizations want to master together.
