Ensure a Safe Journey for School-Goers in Munich's New Academic Year under the Supervision of the Federal Police Directorate

The Federal Police in Munich has issued a document titled "plakat-bahnsicherheit-motiv1-file1.pdf" regarding rail safety, just a day before the start of the 2025/2026 school year in Bavaria. The document, which can be found at www.bundespolizei.de or by contacting Nora Zeidler at the provided email address, emphasises the importance of rail safety as many students will be traveling independently, with many also using the train.

The document, issued from Würzburg, Germany, highlights the dangers in rail traffic and advises parents and guardians to walk the new school route with their children. The Federal Police Inspectorate Würzburg, a part of the Bundespolizeidirektion München, is intensifying its preventive measures for 5th grade students who travel by train.

The Inspectorate Würzburg's core competencies lie in ensuring the safety of rail users and facilities. They also combat unauthorized migration on rail facilities. The local area of responsibility of the Inspectorate Würzburg covers all of Lower Franconia and parts of Upper Franconia.

The Federal Police Inspectorate Würzburg is one of fifteen Federal Police Inspectorates of the Federal Police Directorate Munich. The Bundespolizeidirektion Würzburg, which is part of the Bundespolizeidirektion München, is led by a chief whose specific name is not stated in the available information. The main competencies of this authority, identified as an Oberzollamt (senior customs office), typically include border protection, customs enforcement, and security tasks related to federal police operations within its jurisdiction.

The Federal Police is also increasing its efforts to sensitize students to rail dangers. Prevention officers will visit schools more frequently to educate students about potential dangers during the school route and on railways. The Federal Police advises explicitly pointing out these dangers to children.

Carelessness, smartphone usage, and improper behavior near trains can lead to serious accidents in rail traffic. The Federal Police reminds everyone to stay vigilant and follow safety guidelines to ensure a safe journey for all.
