Cologne (dpa / lnw) - The police cordoned off areas at Cologne Central Station on Thursday afternoon. The reason was an abandoned object that initially could not be clearly assigned, as the officials said. Therefore, he had to be examined for his dangerousness.
But it was harmless technical equipment, said a spokesman - possibly part of a refrigerator. Once that was clear, barriers were gradually dismantled.
The train had tweeted that there was a police operation in the area of Cologne Central Station and pointed out possible delays.
