Black ice chaos in Potsdam: bus services stopped for hours!

On Saturday morning, December 27, 2025, Potsdam was hit by black ice, which severely affected local public transport in particular. Bus services in the city were completely stopped between 3:30 a.m. and 7 a.m. Many passengers waited in vain at the stops without prior information about the cessation of traffic, as the Potsdam public utility company announced. This led to unpleasant delays and increased stress levels among commuters and travelers. maz-online.de reports that…

These figures are significantly higher than the previous year, which underlines the precarious situation. diebrandenburger.de informs you that…

Weather conditions and safety appeals

According to the current weather reports, the situation on Saturday morning was characterized by permanent frost in the south and center of Germany. In the northern and eastern half there was local drizzle, which increased the risk of black ice. For Brandenburg, this means a direct request to be particularly careful. The fire and rescue services recorded an increased number of operations, particularly in connection with traffic accidents and falls on slippery sidewalks. wetterfähren.de points out that...

The city and the authorities urgently appeal to the population to heed current traffic reports and, if possible, to avoid driving while the weather conditions are so dangerous. Although bus services gradually resumed in the early hours of the morning, it remains important to be vigilant and proactive to avoid additional accidents.

In summary: Winter has Brandenburg firmly under control, and while the cold keeps us at bay with frosty temperatures, everyone should have a good handle on the traffic situation in order to reach their destination safely. With a little patience and caution, even the frostiest days can be overcome!
