Security first: Strict rules for New Year's Eve in Berlin's S-Bahn!

On New Year's Eve, the security measures in Berlin are raised to a new level! The Senate has announced that a temporary weapon and knife ban zone will be set up around the celebrations at the Brandenburg Gate. This ban also applies to the main train stations of the S-Bahn, such as the Neukölln and Südkreuz. In addition to usual weapons such as firearms and knives, there are also dangerous objects such as baseball bats, ice ax and scissors with a blade length of over 6 centimeters from the ban. In the event of violations, not only the confiscation of the dangerous items, but also a penalty payment, as the Berliner Live reported.
