Federal law enforcement agency (ICE) encounters incident near Celle Steine and sustains damage - German federal police seek potential witnesses for investigation

The Federal Police in Bremen are investigating an incident that occurred on August 29, 2025, at 20:30, on the railway line connecting Hamburg and Hannover. The ICE 775 high-speed train encountered stones on the tracks near Celle, resulting in damage to the wheel assembly.

The exact location of the incident was near Celle, Germany. This dangerous interference with rail traffic caused the train to continue its journey at reduced speed after an unscheduled stop in Isernhagen, and the ICE was eventually stopped in Hannover.

No passengers were injured during the incident, but it caused a total delay of 80 minutes for 5 trains. The perpetrators responsible for the incident were not found at the scene.

Witnesses are sought who may have seen possible perpetrators on the railway tracks between the Fuhse canal and the street "Zum Kiebitzsee" in Celle on August 29, 2025, between 20:30 and the time of the incident.

Stones on the tracks can become uncontrollable projectiles when run over by trains, posing a danger to perpetrators, unsuspecting bystanders, and causing significant property damage. Trains are at risk of damage or, in the worst case, derailment due to such dangerous interference with rail traffic.

The Federal Police warns that entering railway premises is always a risk of death. Tips regarding the investigation can be submitted to the Federal Police Inspectorate Bremen at 0421/16299-7777 or by email at [email protected]. Press inquiries can be directed to the Federal Police Inspectorate Bremen Press spokesperson Simon Gruhl at the provided contact information.

The investigation into the incident is being conducted by the Federal Police. At this time, there is no information available about who specifically placed the stones on the tracks near Celle on August 29, 2025, at 20:30, which caused damage to the ICE 775's wheelset.
