Purpose and structure

The project company aims to streamline processes, improve decision-making processes, risk management and the interaction with project partners. The changed project structure should also bring more efficiency. The project should also assume budget responsibility for both major projects. The company should report directly to the Group's Board of Management for Infrastructure. The project company was founded on the recommendation of the McKinsey management consultancy and an auditing company.

At the end of June 2013, the composition of the four-person management was announced. On August 1, 2013, the industrial engineer Manfred Leger should be appointed chairman. The previous overall project manager, Stefan Penn , will retain responsibility for operational project management. The lawyer Peter Sturm is to take over the area of risk and contract management . Harald Klein will continue to head the controlling of the project. Leger was ultimately appointed on September 1, 2013. He is the fifth project manager since 1994.

In addition to the company, an advisory board is to be set up, which will primarily include external experts as advisors. On June 19, 2013, the Supervisory Board of Deutsche Bahn AG appointed the now five-member project advisory board. Herbert Lütkestratkötter was appointed chairman , until 2011 CEO of Hochtief . In addition, Klaus Grewe , (including overall coordinator of the construction work for the 2012 Olympic Games ), Professor Bernd Hillemeier , trade unionist Regina Rusch-Zimba and civil servant Günther Hoffmann ( Federal Ministry of Transport ) were appointed. The advisory board should report directly to the supervisory board of Deutsche Bahn.

In addition to the project company, an asset company is planned to manage the project partners' financial contributions. The project communication (communication office) and the tower forum should remain organized in an independent association and not be integrated into the project society.

history

The company takes over the projects from DB ProjektBau . Before that, from 1996 to 2001, DBProjekt GmbH Stuttgart 21 was entrusted with the two projects. The company became part of DB Projekt Süd GmbH , which in turn was merged with other companies to form DB ProjektBau GmbH in October 2003 .

The board of directors of Deutsche Bahn decided on May 28, 2013 to found the new company. It should be founded on July 1, 2013.

The ten sub-project managers relocated their offices directly to the construction sites on the verge of founding the company.

On December 2, 2013, a control and profit transfer agreement was concluded with Deutsche Bahn AG.
