The “Märkische Allgemeine” had previously reported.

It was only on Sunday evening that a regional train from Deutsche Bahn with a few hundred passengers got stuck on the route in the heat near the Birkenwerder S-Bahn station. According to the railway, a technical defect in the overhead line was the reason for this.
