For people with restricted mobility, using the Hackerbrücke S-Bahn station will temporarily be difficult or even impossible. Because the Deutsche Bahn (DB) has to renew the elevator at the station. The existing system, which connects the platform with the street level, is showing its age. In order to ensure reliability and increase comfort, DB is now replacing the system and investing around 250,000 euros.
In addition to the entire technology and electronics, the glass panes and the roof of the elevator tower will also be completely renewed. In addition, the tactile wayfinding is supplemented. The extensive work begins this Monday and, according to DB, is expected to be completed in the second quarter of this year. During this period, the elevator is not available and access is only possible via the existing stairs.
Notices at the S-Bahn station provide information about the work, and the online timetable information and ceiling monitors in the S-Bahn also contain corresponding information. Travelers with restricted mobility can alternatively use tram lines 16 and 17 (Hackerbrücke stop), which run parallel to the main route in this area and also stop at the main station and Stachus. In addition, the DB mobility service center when planning barrier-free alternative routes for travelers with restricted mobility.
