Bahnchaos on December 5: Surprising train failure in Hauenstein!

In Hauenstein there is double excitement: On December 5, 2024, travelers of the Pirmasens - Landau rail connection had to deal with massive inconvenience. The train planned for 11:40 a.m. was out without replacement, and the users of the route were fed with sparse information. At the station ads it was only to be read that the train could not drive due to a "short -term illness of the staff". Affected people reported a complete information situation that was not better even on the Internet. Deutsche Bahn (DB) said that in this case it was not possible to organize a replacement at short notice, which is due to the increasing shortage of skilled workers in the industry, as it emphasizes. There was no information about the effects of the failure on other railway lines in the region.

Festive mood despite the trait failure

While rail travelers are waiting for their connections, Hauenstein will become the center of the pre -Christmas atmosphere tonight. The Christmas market in the heart of the city opens its doors at 6 p.m. The event is opened with festive sounds of tower wind players, which visit visitors to the coming days. On the following days, Saturday and Sunday, the market presents a varied offer from handicrafts - from hats to Christmas cribs. Music contributions, including a appearance of the Singkreis Schola, will delight the audience on Saturday, while Nicholas will create a good atmosphere on the same day at 5:45 p.m. In addition, there are numerous readings in the festively decorated fairytale room and an advent concert by the Gospel Choir Good News in the Bartholomäuskirche on Sunday evening.

The combined developments from the rail failure and the Christmas market give the region both challenges and festive joy, whereby many visitors and commuters have to accept special detours in order to be able to experience the celebrations.
