history
planning
The structure was planned in 1984 with a length of 950 m and costs of 25.4 million DM.
The structure was in planning section 16 of the middle section of the new line. At the end of 1982, the attack was expected in mid-March 1983. In 1983 the planned length of the structure was 950 m.
construction
In December 1982, a consortium of the companies Boswau & Knauer AG (Frankfurt) and Tiefbaugesellschaft mbH ( Bruck an der Mur / Styria ) was commissioned with the construction. First, a 1,800 m long driveway to the south portal was created. Construction had also started in December 1982.
On April 21, 1983, the tunnel was struck . The tunnel sponsor Hanneliese Zwecker solved the first blast in the stable rock. The numerous guests included Jochen Lengemann , President of the Hessian State Parliament , Federal Railroad President Gohlke , the Parliamentary State Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Transport, Dieter Schulte, and Herbert Günther , the then Hessian Interior Minister. At the same time, construction work on the section between Kassel and Fulda was officially initiated. At Baugeinn the breakthrough was expected in May 1985. The mayor of the nearby town of Schlitz refused to participate in the attack in protest.
Tunneling was officially started on May 2, 1983.
Due to the low time pressure for the construction of the relatively short tunnel, the crown was first driven over the entire length of the tunnel, then the bench .
Installation
The tunnel went into operation in 1991 with the new line.
