The Eurobahnhof in Saarbrücken is set to undergo significant improvements in preparation for the celebrations of German Unity Day this year. A total of €583,000 will be invested, as announced during a visit by Petra Berg, the Minister of Environment and Mobility, on August 1, 2025.
This investment is a collaborative effort between the Saarland and the German Railway (DB). Stefan Schwinn, head of the Regional Center of the DB InfraGO AG's Passenger Stations business unit, emphasized the successful collaboration, with the DB contributing approximately €139,000 to the investments. The environmental ministry will contribute approximately €247,000, and the Saarland will contribute the remaining amount.
The improvements are aimed at enhancing the appearance, waiting comfort, and customer information at the main station. The measures are designed to be sustainable, ensuring a positive impact even after German Unity Day.
Jennifer Sauer, head of Saarbrücken station management, stated that measures will be taken to increase comfort and create a pleasant atmosphere at the Eurobahnhof. This will include changes in the waiting area, passenger information points on the platforms, and artistic design elements.
Stefan Schwinn also emphasized that these improvements are an important signal, with the goal being to make the Eurobahnhof more attractive in the long term. Minister Berg also stated that the improvements should benefit the people of Saarland in the long term.
The working group, consisting of the Ministry of Environment and DB InfraGO AG, has been identifying potential for improvement at the Eurobahnhof since April. It's worth noting that there are no publicly detailed long-term plans for improving Saarbrücken's Eurobahnhof explicitly connected to the celebrations of German Unity Day in 2025 mentioned in the available search results.
