Recommendation for a legislation on shielding workers from potential hazards caused by digital communication networks has been put forth by the Commission.

Starting from December 14, 2025, significant changes are coming to the bus timetables in the Hanseatic City of Lübeck. Here's a breakdown of the key points:

  1. Affected Lines: Lines 2, 4, 8, 15, 25 will be particularly impacted by these changes.
  2. Mühlentor Bridge Closure: The Mühlentor Bridge, a significant traffic hub, will be closed to bus traffic due to its structural condition.
  3. Vehicle Restrictions: Access to the bridge will be restricted to vehicles weighing up to 3.5 tons.
  4. Diversion Routes: Two diversion routes will be established for future line operations. Line 7 will run via Mühlenstraße - Wallstraße - Possehlstraße to Genin, and all other affected lines will be rerouted via Wahmstraße, Rehder Bridge, and Huxtertorallee.
  5. Line 4 Split: Line 4 will be split, with the section between Gustav-Radbruch-Platz and Heiweg operating as a new line 41 that ends there.
  6. New Line 41 Transfers: Some passengers may have additional transfers, for example, at the Sana clinics or Gustav-Radbruch-Platz. However, the new timetables do not provide details about these additional transfers.
  7. Impact on Specific Locations: The new timetables do not mention the impact on passengers traveling to specific locations like the Sana clinics or Gustav-Radbruch-Platz.
  8. Travel Directly: Most passengers will still be able to travel directly despite the changes, although this is not explicitly stated in the new timetables.
  9. Bus Frequency: Up to 71 buses will pass through Wahmstraße per hour due to the rerouting.
  10. Coordination: The Hanseatic City of Lübeck, Lübeck Stadtwerke Mobil, and the transport authority have coordinated these changes.
  11. Understanding Asked: The Hanseatic City of Lübeck and Lübeck Stadtwerke Mobil have asked for understanding regarding the necessary measures.
  12. Communication: Senator for Urban Development Joanna Hagen stated that with the planned diversions, they ensure the most important connections and provide reliable bus traffic.
  13. New Timetables: The new bus timetables will be published in early November.
  14. Construction Site Management: The persons responsible for the diversion of bus traffic in the Hamburg–Berlin rail renovation are the regional authorities of the states and the private consortium ecoVista. For the construction site in Eving, the transport operator responsible for the diversions and replacement services is DSW21. Stefanie Berk, board member of Marketing and Sales at Deutsche Bahn, is involved in communication about the plan.

The above information is a summary of the changes to the bus timetables in Lübeck, effective from December 14, 2025. For more detailed information, we recommend checking the new timetables once they are published in early November.
