Bonn central train station Temporary move for city police
Bonn · Police in Bonn’s inner city have had to move from their old building as it will be torn down. They are in a temporary new location not far away on Maximilianstraße 32 and open daily for the public.
At the end of January, Bonn city police had to move out of their old headquarters. The building which housed them will be torn down in the construction project surrounding the Bonn central train station. Their temporary new home is in a more than century old building on Maximilian Straße. It is open to the public on a walk-in basis from 7 am until 1 am daily.
The temporary police station is not far from the old one, only around 100 meters if you make a bee-line. Some steps lead down to the police offices and there is a sign above. Both police and the Ordnungsamt (public order officers) are headquartered here for the time being.
A new headquarters for city police is expected to be completed in September at Cassius-Bastei. There, a former book store is being converted into the new police station.
Officers say people have already made their way to the temporary headquarters during their one-and-a-half days of moving. They came with complaints of small crimes such as pickpocketing. For those who want to file a complaint, they start at ground level and then they need to go up one floor higher.
When the new space is finished, there will be around 375 square meters for the twelve public order officers and 20 police officers. (Orig. text: Dennis Sennekamp)
