Hauptbahnhof Chemnitz, Deutschland - yesterday morning, around 9:05 a.m., two abandoned backpacks in Chemnitz Central Station caused excitement. The federal police's emergency services discovered the suspicious pieces of luggage in the entrance area of ​​the federal police station and could not find a owner, despite video evaluation and announcements of the station management.

The main entrance and the front part of the main hall were immediately blocked, and the defusing service was alerted. This is not the first time that the Chemnitz main station will make the headlines due to suspicious pieces of luggage: it was only on June 29, 2025 due to an abandoned suitcase of the defusers. This also turned out to be harmless, but the owners who had parked the suitcase due to a defect must now pay for the operating costs.
