Germans are bracing for rain showers and winds reaching up to 200 kilometers per hour as the storm dubbed Herwart is expected to gain full strength on Sunday.

BERLIN (Sputnik) — Herwart hit the northern and central parts of Germany causing transport difficulties across the country as the railway traffic has been partially suspended, a Sputnik correspondent reported on Sunday.

According to the correspondent, the restrictions imposed by Germany's Deutsche Bahn railway company had targeted such German regions as Lower Saxony, Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Thuringia.

​Berlin's fire service has also introduced an emergency situation regime against the backdrop of the storm.

Social media users have responded to the reports of the storm passing through the country with humorous posts. 

​At this moment there has been no information about those killed or injured by the storm.
