New connections between Denmark and Germany
The German rail link as part of a bigger picture
▪
In September 2008 Denmark and Germany signed a
State Treaty to build a fixed link over the Fehmern
Belt
o
Germany has pledged to provide an efficient road-
and rail connection on the German side
▪
Current situation between Lübeck and Puttgarden:
•
88 km, one track, not electrified
•
Maximum speed: 140 km/h
•
Average speed: ca. 100 km/h
▪

Acceleration measures to stabilize the time schedule
Goal: Realization of all 10 sections by opening of the FBFL
▪
In December 2022, the Federal Ministry of Transport (BMDV)
decided to accelerate the planning in certain sections of the
project
▪
The measures is to compensate delays due to the later inclusion
of a new Fehmarnsound crossing into the existing planning and
necessary new planning, resulting from the Bundestag decision in
2020.
2 measures are therefore currently implemented in the project:
1)
Railway Partnership Model (Partnerschaftsmodell Schiene)
▪
DB project team, planning and construction companies are
brought together early and work together to ensure rapid
implementation and efficient construction
→
resemblance
with Design and Build approach
2)
Optimized plan approval procedure
▪
Shared committment with federal authority
Eisenbahn-
Bundesamt
to cut the time in which approvals are issued
in half

Section Bad Schwartau
13 years of planning and discussion
Planning of the
expansion
of the existing
track
Planning of the
„acceptance
proposal“:
•
Lowering of the track
( 3,20 meters)
•
Additional noise protection
•
Maximum vibration protection
Result of variants study
Planning approval procedure
includes variants study
Based on the current planning status,
including the variants study, 3,20 m
is the preferred solution
2011 - 2014
2014 - 2017
2017 - 2020
2020 - 2023
2024
2025
2026
Regional planning procedure:
Investigation of numerous
routes through Bad Schwartau
as well as different variants with
bypasses of the city
•
Result: Expansion of the
existing track is preferable
Bad Schwartau is demanding
for
the rail to be lowered by 7 meters.
Mediation procedure
for the
parliamentary consultation:
•
Bundestag adopts the
“acceptance proposal”
(3,20 meters lowering of the
track)
•
Bad Schwartau sticks to its 7
meters demand
The
city‘s
latest demand:
After 10 years and many discussions,
the town of Bad Schwartau is once
again calling for the town area to be
bypassed via the neighboring town of
Lübeck and the municipality of
Ratekau
(“X-Trasse”)

How we build the tunnel elements
Production in dry dock on the mainland
Lock with floating gate
Curved shape
according to the
course of the track
▪
Construction of a dry dock on the mainland west of the
Fehmarnsound bridge
▪
The 12 tunnel elements will be produced here
▪
The dry dock will later be converted into a tunnel portal
(entrance and exit)
▪
This way, the required amount of land use is minimised
DB InfraGO | 23 September 2024
3 elements are built
at the same time

We produce our tunnel elements at the Sound
Swimming in involves exclusion criteria, e.g. major interventions in the FFH area
▪
A feasibility study is available for swimming in the tunnel
elements, e.g. from Denmark
▪
Due to the shallow water depth in the Sound, swimming in
requires excavation of the navigation channel
▪
As the production in the dry dock is an alternative to
this intervention, the production outside the
Fehmarnsound will not be approved by the
authorities
▪
The production of the Sound elements in Rødbyhavn
▪
The excavation is a major intervention in the FFH area in the
requires adjustments to the production facility
Fehmarnsound and exceeds the limited excavation for the
tunnel by a multiple
▪
Swimming in the tunnel elements also extends the
construction time
