Mering : summer sabotage of rail traffic
On the night of Sunday, July 31 to Monday, August 1, 2022, between 9:00 pm and 3:00 am, the cable shaft of the signal box in Mering (Bavaria) was deliberately set on fire. Many regional trains between Munich and Augsburg were cancelled for 48 hours. The attack also severely disrupted long-distance ICE and Intercity trains from Nuremberg, Ulm and Stuttgart – all of which passed through this important rail hub – causing long delays and cancellations.
According to a Deutsche Bahn (DB) spokesperson, who had to justify the late return to normal operation, it is caused by burned cables along the tracks: “About 15 cables, each containing more than 500 wires, were affected and had to be replaced. These cables control, among other things, the signals along the line and important functions of the Mering signal box.”
If at first the cops refused to comment on the cause of the fire, defending the possible hypothesis that the cables were burned without the intervention of a third party, the federal police in charge of pursuing the 
investigation then announced the opening of an investigation for “arson”. They also launched an appeal for witnesses, looking for “people who were driving or cycling [that night] and who, despite the summer temperatures, were wearing gloves or hoodies”…
