check_station_facilities
ViaFrei answered · As of 16.10.2026, 21:07
At Köln Hbf, 7 of 8 reported lifts are in service; for one, the railway reports no status.
Are all lifts at Erlangen station in service?
check_station_facilities
ViaFrei answered · As of 16.10.2026, 21:07
Yes: the one lift reported at Erlangen, to platform 2/3, is in service.

get_train_departures
ViaFrei answered · As of 16.10.2026, 21:14
The ICE 1105 to München Hbf at 21:25 from platform 8, on time.
What is out of service at the Ebertplatz Stadtbahn stop in Cologne right now?
3 of 10 reported facilities: escalators 51 and 52, reported since 06.10., 17:32, and 62 since 20:46; both lifts in service. Kölner Verkehrs-Betriebe AG provides the data without any warranty.
For Cologne's Stadtbahn stops, from the published fault list – with the time each fault was reported.
Where can I find a free hire bike near Kiel Hbf?
Hauptbahnhof dock by Donkey Republic: 40 bikes free, and 8 docks within 1 km, each with its own count.
Free bikes come live from the bike-share systems' open data; ViaFrei says only what a dock is reporting right now.
Which lifts at Köln Hbf station are out of service right now?
None is reported out of service: 7 of 8 lifts in service. One of the two lifts to platforms 8/9 is not monitored – its status is unknown.
For Deutsche Bahn stations, read every 20 minutes. Whatever the latest report does not mention is “unknown” – never “in service”.
Are there any bus and rail service alerts in Lower Saxony right now?
200 alerts are in force, among them: lines 831, 863, 864 run to a roadworks timetable because the L133 is closed between Lilienthal and Grasberg – valid from 27.07.2026 to 12.12.2026.
Alerts from the transport associations via DELFI, only while they are in force. An alert that names no stop is placed in a Land by its network, and ViaFrei says that it may concern a neighbouring Land too.
Is the RB10 to Berlin Südkreuz leaving Berlin Hbf on time?
+7 min, expected at 21:21 instead of 21:14 — and from platform 2 instead of 1.
Delays and platform changes come from the Deutsche Bahn timetable interface, for every part of the station — the deep-level and suburban platforms of Berlin's main station included.
Is the next regional train from Frankfurt (Main) Hbf to Mannheim Hbf on time?
Yes: RE70 at 21:20 from platform 17, on time — like all 10 regional trains up to 21:47.
When the Deutsche Bahn timetable interface gives no live times, ViaFrei adds regional and S-Bahn trains from DELFI SIRI ET – in a block of their own, never mixed into the railway's lines.
Are buses and trains in the Rhine-Ruhr area running on time right now?
10 % of the trips observed in the last hour were more than 5 minutes late — about the same as the hour before (13 %).
The Rhine-Ruhr area answers as one region: 30 districts and cities together. ViaFrei gives totals per region, not per line.

Live answer from ViaFrei Tool: check_autobahn_traffic

How much time is the jam on the A3 between Frankfurt and Würzburg costing right now?

Is traffic backed up on the Cologne motorway ring right now — A1, A3 or A4?
check_autobahn_traffic

Yes: utility works in both directions between Luisenstraße and Albrechtstraße, closed to motor traffic according to the Senate department, from 09.07.2025 to 28.10.2026.
Berlin's messages name the street and the section, not a road number, so ViaFrei finds them by place – within 25 km, nearest first.
Are there roadworks on the L1025 in Thuringia this week?
1 roadworks site: Alte Hauptstraße / Kirchplatz, a narrowing controlled by traffic lights, from 04.05.2026 to 04.05.2028.

7 of 9 sites are in Baden-Württemberg, e.g. Villingen-Schwenningen – Balingen: a new road surface from 12.10.2026 to 23.10.2026.
Baden-Württemberg's transport ministry publishes its roadworks (BEMaS) through MobiData BW. ViaFrei answers them for federal and state roads, by section and period – planned work as planned, no live delay.

No: the ferry Adler1 is out of service for a shipyard stay, from 15.10.2026 until 23.10.2026 at 23:59 (Example, summarised; the tool shows it in full).

Hamburg's car-park occupancy comes live from the city; ViaFrei always passes on its note that the data is unverified.
How many spaces are free at Parkhaus Stubengasse in Münster?
Parkhaus Stubengasse: 173 of 300 spaces free, plus 4 more car parks nearby, each with its own count.
Occupancy comes live from the City of Münster's parking guidance system. A car park that reports nothing is never called “full” by ViaFrei.
How many spaces are free in the Brückenstraße car park in Cologne?
Brückenstraße: 450 of 531 spaces free.
Name, location and number of spaces come from the City of Cologne's car-park table, occupancy from its live feed. If the latest report is too old, ViaFrei says “last reported” instead of “free”.
Is there a free lorry space at BREAK Autohof Hamburg-Nordheide on the A7 tonight?
BREAK Autohof Hamburg-Nordheide: 86 of 150 spaces free, as the operator reports them.
The operator of these secure lorry parks publishes their free spaces; ViaFrei shows them beside the rest areas, which publish no occupancy, and never adds the two together.
How many lorry spaces are free at Trucklounge Ecopark right now?
Trucklounge Ecopark: 39 lorry spaces free, as the operator reports them.
We give free spaces only where the operator publishes them – here every 15 minutes. If a value stays the same for six hours, ViaFrei says “last reported” instead of “free”.
These entries come from our database derived from “Trucklounge Ecopark”. We send the database we use publicly – without the entries the publisher marks confidential – as a machine-readable copy (CSV) under the ODbL 1.0, free of charge on request – contact details in the imprint.

Is anything free at the Hilden Supercharger right now?
find_charging_station
ViaFrei answered · As of 16.10.2026, 21:18
Tesla last reported a status at 10:00 — too old to say “free”; at Nordpark 2-4, 40724 Hilden, up to 250 kW.
Is a charging point free at the EnBW station at Schumanstraße 4, Würselen right now?
Up to 300 kW, €0.70/kWh — but the last status came at 01:00 and may be out of date, so ViaFrei does not say “free”.
The operator publishes its sites and occupancy itself; the “as of” time is its latest report.
Is a charging point free at the fast charger at Schiffbeker Weg 299, Hamburg right now?
JOLT HH008701: up to 350 kW, €0.79/kWh; the last status dates from 15.10., 09:47 — too old to say “free”.
Here the occupancy comes from a service that gathers many operators' reports. A point without a report never counts as free.
Is a charging point free at the charger at Ottostraße 7, 50823 Köln right now?
No: the charging point is occupied right now — up to 50 kW, €0.49/kWh before VAT.
Occupancy comes live through Baden-Württemberg's data portal, which also lists chargers far beyond that state.
Where can I charge near Friedrich-Ebert-Straße 51, Leipzig?
19 m away: Type 2, up to 22 kW, per the Federal Network Agency's charging register (as of 01.09.2026), no live status and no warranty of accuracy or completeness.
Where no operator publishes live data, ViaFrei names the chargers from the official register, without occupancy, because unknown is never “free”.
Is a charging point free at Martin-Luther-Platz 26, Düsseldorf right now?
At Parkhaus Schadow Arkaden: 11 charging points, Type 2, up to 22.1 kW, €0.40/kWh before VAT. 1 is occupied; for the other 10 the status dates from 16:48 — possibly out of date, so not “free”.
We give live occupancy only where the operator publishes it – here through e-clearing.net. Without a report the answer is “no status data”, never “free”.
Example answers about fuel prices are shown only with their date and only in two places: on the home page and on the connect page.
