Weapons ban at Gelsenkirchen Central Station: Police crabs hard!

Weapons ban at Gelsenkirchen Central Station: Police crabs hard!

The Gelsenkirchen Central Station will again be declared a prohibition on weapons this weekend. This means that, with the exception of the subway sector, every type of dangerous objects, including pocket knives, is prohibited in the entire station building. The ban comes into force on Saturday at 1 p.m. and ends on Sunday at 6 a.m. During this time, the federal police will carry out additional controls to discover and lose dangerous objects.

If you don't stick to this regulation, you have to expect a dismissal or a fine of up to 200 euros. The measure aims to increase the safety of passengers and prevent incidents with dangerous objects. Because in the past there have always been problems in the train station, where the police met people with knives, shear guns or even batons. Only recently two men were made by the officials when trying to carry forbidden objects.

Current situation and trends

The authorities have been observing a certain development in terms of knife for some time. While the controls are reinforced, current statistics show that the frequency of such violent acts is obviously slightly declining. This could indicate that the measures of the police have an effect, even if the regular missions make it clear that many people still carry dangerous objects.

The weapon ban zone is therefore not only understood as a reactive measure, but also as a preventive signal to the public that such behavior is not accepted. The increased controls in the critical times should not only deter perpetrators, but also help to create a safe environment for travel.

In addition, this procedure could also lead to the awareness of the citizens to raise awareness of the dangers of gun ownership and use. The situation at Gelsenkirchen Central Station is thus in the context of a broader debate about public security and the responsibility of each individual to adhere to the laws.
