ICE vehicle encounters damage near Celle Steine; Federal police seek eyewitness accounts
On Friday, August 29, 2025, at 20:30, an ICE 775 train encountered stones on the tracks near Celle, causing damage to its wheel assembly. As a result, the train was forced to stop unscheduled in Isernhagen and continue to Hannover Central Station at reduced speed.
The Federal Police Inspectorate Bremen is investigating this incident as a dangerous interference with rail traffic. No passengers were injured during the incident, but it caused a total delay of 80 minutes for 5 trains.
The Federal Police are seeking witnesses who may have seen possible perpetrators on the tracks in the area between the Fuhse Canal and the "Zum Kiebitzsee" street in Celle on Friday evening. Tips can be submitted to the Federal Police Inspectorate Bremen at 0421/16299-7777 or by email to [email protected].
Upon arrival in Hannover, the ICE had to be taken out of service. Entering railway premises is always dangerous, and the laid stones can increase the risk, as they can become uncontrollable projectiles and cause injury or significant property damage.
