According to the federal police, “ammunition” was found in the area of Schönhauser Allee on Wednesday afternoon, the circular railway lines S41, S42 and line S8 were interrupted. According to the federal police, it was not an aerial bomb, but “probably a hand grenade from the Second World War”.

A situation like last week at Ostkreuz, where thousands of Berliners had to leave their homes and the important transfer point was closed for hours, did not occur.

The S-Bahn was running normally again late Wednesday afternoon.
