The direct ICE train connection between Berlin and Paris has been temporarily suspended since Friday, August 7, due to technical problems. Deutsche Bahn has removed the service from the timetable for an indefinite period, and passengers traveling between the German and French capitals must now change trains. Spiegel.de ↗
According to available information, the restrictions are linked to problems with the European train safety system supplied by Alstom. This is technology required for international long-distance rail traffic. The operator has therefore temporarily suspended the direct connection between Berlin and Paris, even though the route was among the highly visible projects for expanding international long-distance rail transport.
Passengers can still travel between the two cities with a transfer, mainly via Frankfurt am Main or Mannheim. The suspension affects precisely the direct train, which also held symbolic significance for German-French relations. Former German Transport Minister Volker Wissing previously described it as an expression of practical cooperation between the two countries.
It is not yet known when the direct connection will return to regular operation. Further developments will depend on resolving the technical problems with the safety system and the subsequent reinstatement of the train in the timetable.
