Traffic closures and traffic jams in Berlin-Tiergarten due to the vow of the Bundeswehr

Because of the solemn plain of the Bundeswehr on Thursday, traffic disabilities can occur in Tiergarten. The police will block several streets around the Bendlerblock, the headquarters of the Federal Ministry of Defense. Drivers between the Berlin City West and Potsdamer Platz must therefore prepare for traffic jams.

According to the police, the closures concern Hildebrandstrasse and Stauffenbergstrasse, the Lützowufer, the Reichpietschufer and the Schöneberg bank. These sections of roads will not be passable between 1 p.m. and 8 p.m. Many drivers usually use the streets north and south of the Landwehr Canal as a connection between the Kurfürstendamm and Potsdamer Platz.

The reason for the closures is the solemn plain of the Bundeswehr. On this day, around 400 recruits of the Bundeswehr will take their vow in a solemn appeal. This ceremony takes place annually and is reminiscent of the resistance against the regime of the National Socialists.

drivers should therefore inform themselves in good time about alternative routes or, if necessary, use public transport to avoid delays and traffic jams. It is recommended to plan enough time to get to the desired destination on time.

The traffic disruptions should be lifted again on Thursday evening as soon as the ceremony has ended. The police will then release the traffic again and open the blocked roads for normal traffic.

Overall, the Bundeswehr's solemn plain is an important occasion to remember the resistance to the Nazi regime and to honor the contribution of the Bundeswehr to protect democracy and peace. However, it is advisable to adjust to the temporary traffic disruptions and take appropriate measures to ensure that traffic runs smoothly.
