Hamburg main station under criticism

At the same time, Hamburg Central Station, one of the busiest train stations in Germany, is being criticized and has been named the dirtiest train station in the country. During an inspection in October, the Prellbock Altona initiative documented significant deficiencies, including garbage, pigeon droppings and broken infrastructure. Therefore, the initiative awarded the “Rusty Rail” prize on Thursday. Initiative spokesman Michael Jung complains that Deutsche Bahn limits itself to the mandatory program and fails to improve the quality of stay. Despite previous efforts to clean it, the station remains an unsightly place daily news reported.
