Train station in Ratzeburg temporarily shut due to structural damage from cracks in the wall

The train station in Ratzeburg, Herzogtum Lauenburg district, remains closed due to a significant crack in the station building. The closure, announced by Erixx railway company on their website, is affecting the railway line between Lübeck and Lüneburg and causing disruptions to the regular train schedule.

The crack in the station building was first reported on Tuesday, prompting the police to cordon off the area around the station due to concerns about the building's stability. The police have maintained a cordon around the station area since Tuesday, and the closure is still expected to last at least until the evening.

Erixx railway company has continued to operate bus services as a replacement for train services in Ratzeburg. However, no alternative train routes have been announced for passengers traveling between Lübeck and Lüneburg during the station closure.

Despite the absence of a direct replacement for the Ratzeburg station, travelers between Lübeck and Lüneburg have alternative transportation options. Regional trains running on routes RB31, RE83, RE3, and RB32, as well as several bus lines such as 5200, 5405, and shuttle services RB31-SEV and RB32-SEV that serve Lüneburg, continue to link Lüneburg with nearby cities.

The Moovit app is recommended for finding the best routes, live directions, and real-time updates for public transit options between these locations. Travelers should check current schedules and routes on transit apps or websites to plan the trip accordingly.

The dpa news agency reported the latest updates on the train station closure in Ratzeburg. It is advised for travelers to stay informed and adjust their travel plans accordingly.
