Langenzenn committee rejects parking limits but secures key train stop revival
Langenzenn's Construction, Environment, and Transport Committee has addressed several local concerns in its latest session. A proposal to limit parking on Veit-Stoß-Straße was rejected, while Deutsche Bahn agreed to restore a key train stop. The committee also launched a review of accessibility at the town hall and plans to tackle misuse of public parking spaces.
The committee unanimously turned down plans for parking restrictions on Veit-Stoß-Straße. Members concluded that existing parking availability in the area made new rules unnecessary. However, they left open the possibility of revisiting the issue if photographic evidence later shows a shift in conditions.
On public transport, Deutsche Bahn confirmed it would reinstate the Pfaffenleite stop during the next round of construction work. The halt, scheduled for February 16–19, 2026, will see service resume in the evening hours. The committee will monitor the reinstatement closely to ensure compliance. Additionally, the rail operator agreed to consider an extra stop in Langenzenn's western district whenever replacement buses run in future.
Accessibility also took centre stage, with the committee ordering a review of barrier-free entry to the town hall's council chamber. The aim is to guarantee all residents can fully engage in political discussions. Meanwhile, authorities will investigate whether public parking spaces are being improperly used for long-term storage and weigh up possible solutions.
The decisions mean Veit-Stoß-Straße will remain unrestricted for now, while Pfaffenleite passengers can expect a temporary return of their stop in early 2026. The committee's focus on accessibility and parking misuse reflects ongoing efforts to address practical concerns for residents. Further updates will depend on evidence and Deutsche Bahn's follow-through.
