Goods traffic center Augsburg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Güterverkehrszentrum Augsburg (GVZ) is a logistics center in the Augsburg metropolitan region , Swabia , where goods are reloaded between different modes of transport , put together for loads and prepared for transport trips. At this location, different modes of transport ( road transport , rail transport and air freight ), transport companies ( freight forwarders , warehouses ), service companies that supplement traffic ( vehicle service , advisory services) and logistics-intensive industrial and commercial companies are brought together and networked. The spatial proximity promotes cooperation and the division of labor between the companies located there .

General

The goods traffic center of the Augsburg region (GVZ) is located northwest of the Augsburg district of Oberhausen , southwest of the city of Gersthofen and northeast of the city of Neusäß and has established itself as a central logistics location for transport and logistics services in southern Germany in just a short time . It is one of 35 freight centers nationwide (as of 04/2020) with container terminals for intermodal transport .

The goods traffic center Augsburg has bimodal terminals at the intersection of road and train connections. The GVZ can optimize the traffic economically and ecologically by bringing the goods traffic for long and partly international traffic on the rail, bundling truck trips in urban and regional traffic through mergers , can achieve a better utilization of the vehicles, thus avoiding empty trips and synergy effects supported by a common service.

The total area of ​​the traffic center has a usable area of about 112 hectares . Between 1999 and 2009, the three operating cities together invested around 40 million euros in the development and acquisition of the land for the area, which should be refinanced through sales to companies willing to settle . In 2013, 62 hectares of 112 hectares of gross area were leased. (On this usable area there are land areas of up to 94,000 square meters for companies and logistics companies.) For the GVZ usable areas ( special area GVZ ), the railway area took up 10 hectares, public green areas 28 hectares and road areas around 12 hectares.

In the expanded state, the GVZ of the Augsburg conurbation will provide work for around 2500 people. It is planned to put around 100,000 truck loads on freight trains here every year .

history

In 1996 the three participating cities founded the GVZ Augsburg Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH , which has since been liquidated. The GVZ-Entwicklungsprojekte GmbH of the three cities Augsburg, Neusäß and Gersthofen was founded as a development agency in the same year. A year later, the planning association GVZ Raum Augsburg was founded by the operating cities. However, the zoning plan for the entire area of ​​the future freight transport center only came into effect in September 1999.

In December 2003, in cooperation with the federal government, the connection to the A 8 federal motorway with the Neusäß exit (71b) was put into operation. This connection serves both the north-west industrial area in Gersthofen as a further indirect connection point to the motorway and the village of Hirblingen and the Neusäßer district of Täfertingen as a direct connection point. It was not until 2007 that the groundbreaking ceremony for the utilization of the freight center took place. At the beginning of August 2009, the three operating cities founded a special purpose association for the unproblematic maintenance of the GVZ from just one source. Through this special purpose agreement, Augsburg took over the production of the sewage systems with its city-owned sewage company SWA , while the city of Gersthofen undertook to produce the water supply . In September 2010, the GVZ Augsburg was opened to traffic, including the newly created connecting road to the multi-lane B 17 / B 2 towards Landsberg am Lech and Donauwörth (- Nuremberg ) with the existing slip road Stuttgarter Straße . After three years of construction and an investment of around 19 million euros, the Augsburg freight center was able to start operations.

In 2005, the Terminal Investment Company Augsburg (TIA for short) was founded to plan and build a new terminal. In 2008 the public-law reallocation procedure was concluded. Thus, all public compensation, traffic and green areas were now owned by the planning association. All commercially usable SO areas (special area according to the ordinance on the structural use of the land ( BauNVO )) and the terminal areas were in the trust assets of GVZ-Entwicklungsprojekte GmbH. By September 2008, around 33 percent of the freight center's area had been sold. Various companies expressed interest in a further third. The Honold Logistik-Gruppe had already bought into the goods traffic center and published plans according to which it would invest 6.5 million euros in the construction of a logistics hall. Almost a year later, Prologis Germany Management GmbH presented the design of a theme park with a 93,000 square meter service and logistics park. (In 2009, 53,180 square meters were already built on in this regard.) In addition to logistics space, tenants received a complete service package with extensive offers, such as vehicle maintenance and staff rooms. On July 12, 2012, DB Schenker AG invited prominent guests from politics and business to its new building before the official opening in August 2012. The logistics center of DB Schenker was developed on part of the theme park of the real estate partner Prologis. It is also managed by this partner. The Prologis built on a total of 93,000 square meters, the Prologis Park Augsburg . There was already around 30,000 square meters of distribution space, so there was additional space available for DB Schenker Logistics in addition to the expansion. At that time, 42% of the total settlement area in the GVZ was sold. At the end of 2012, the logistics companies from GKM Hörnlein , Honold , Kloiber and Hermes as well as from Mercedes-Benz the commercial vehicle center with new locations were located in the GVZ.

In 2012, the planning approval procedure for a planned rail-side container terminal began and in July 2012 the siding was about to be implemented. From the time of commissioning, logistics goods should be able to be relocated more easily to Deutsche Bahn , the local Augsburg local railway or to other railway companies . The new terminal helps to redistribute road freight traffic to rail. Inner-city transport by rail is also possible thanks to the local train. The transshipment terminal was originally supposed to go into operation in 2013 or 2014. Until then, according to the GRÜNEN , the Augsburg local railway should be economically strengthened and its infrastructure expanded in order to bring goods from the freight center more often and thus more ecologically than by truck to the city. But the planning approval decision for the container terminal was only approved in 2017.

On April 16, 2015, the nationwide Logistics Day took place on the GVZ area, which was combined with an open day .

In 2016, the construction of SO10 , a service park for the workers employed in the GVZ, began.

Details

The freight center is conveniently located on important rail and road axes. So it is a hub of freight traffic in the metropolitan area of the region of Swabia , to the distribution center in the mountain cross traffic, the corridor to Southern and Eastern Europe and trans-regional hinterland location for the port traffic has become.

The centerpiece is a cargo handling terminal for combined transport, which brings the goods from rail to road and vice versa. The transshipment terminal was planned together with the forwarding company Roman Mayer , the Augsburger Localbahn and the forwarding company Nuber as TIA - Terminalinvestitionsgesellschaft mbH in further cooperation with the DB subsidiary Deutsche Umschlaggesellschaft Schiene-Straße (short: DUSS) . Around the turn of the year 2011/2012, the terminal, which cost around 20 million euros, was ready. About the rail terminal next to the train station Augsburg-Oberhausen (one station part from Augsburg Central Station ), the transshipment terminal a direct rail connection to the network of Deutsche Bahn . A clear advantage of the location is the use of the Augsburg local railway with its rail ring network in Augsburg. Furthermore, regional routes such as Augsburg – Schongau and Augsburg – Ingolstadt , but also supra-regional routes can be served.

After the joint development of the property of the goods traffic center, the operating cities founded the Zweckverband Betrieb . The purpose association cares for example, the maintenance of roads and green spaces. The three cities also agreed on a common tax distribution for key tax revenues such as trade, property transfer and property tax. This makes the GVZ a prime example of communal cooperation.

The Servicepark SO10 has been a new promotional area in the GVZ since 2016 with around 26,000 square meters of space for retail and small-scale catering , primarily for employees in the GVZ, but also for office properties and overnight accommodation in the form of business hotels . The increasing need for service facilities, mainly for the employees, should go hand in hand with the SO10 service park ; this offers enough potential to build this supply infrastructure .

Up to 2500 workers will work in the 112 hectare freight center when it is completed.

sustainability

Almost 40 hectares of the total area of ​​the GVZ are green and compensation areas . These are intended to promote a biotope function and contribute to maintaining any natural regulating functions for water and soil as well as to green areas. Optimized, partially self-produced energy generation and distribution, minimal energy consumption through renewable energies, especially solar energy , and a direct rail connection contribute to making the freight transport center as sustainable as possible, ecological and "green" in cooperation with the specialist authorities for nature conservation. is working.

A hilly, natural and recreational landscape with orchards , biotopes and wooded areas stretches along the southwestern edge of the freight transport center and is open to the public for residents of the neighboring districts. It was created from the excavation of the development. Plants and animals find new habitats in the area, including endangered species such as the natterjack toad . Unpolluted surface water seeps away selectively or extensively on free property areas . On the one hand, this improves the rate of new groundwater formation and, on the other hand, offers the flora and fauna that occur the right small-climatic conditions. Most of the newly built streets in the GVZ are designed as avenue streets . The environmentally conscious planning is also evident in the traffic and logistics areas. In the GVZ, for example, there are no traffic lights at all, the traffic routing is signposted.

Donkeys have been grazing on the compensation areas since the spring of 2011, a project that not only reduces the costs for the green spaces, but also ensures a good neighborly relationship between the residents and the freight center.

Transport connections and infrastructure

The GVZ of the Augsburg region has three locations. The roadside location is west of the Augsburg - Donauwörth railway line and directly south of the A8. The current rail-side location is southwest of the Augsburg-Oberhausen train station in the district of the same name. The freight exchange between rail and road can take place here through a loading and unloading terminal. The third location is the Augsburg airfield ( IATA : AGB), where the Augsburg region freight center also offers (express) freight connections via air freight , but does not have its own terminal.

Street

The center for roadside freight traffic is at the intersection of the A 8 , B 17 and B 2 , southwest of the Augsburg-West junction . The B 300 is also only about 5 km away.

From the GVZ, heading west in about 1500 meters, you will reach the Neusäß junction (71b), which leads to the A 8 motorway. The motorway runs in a west-east axis from the French to the Austrian border and serves cities such as Ulm , Stuttgart and Karlsruhe , Munich , Rosenheim and Freilassing . The junction Stuttgarter Straße connects the GVZ with the motorway-like B 17 within about 1200 meters . From there there is a connection in the direction of the junction B 300 (towards Krumbach and Memmingen ), Landsberg , Schongau , Füssen , further towards Austria and the likewise motorway-like B2 Direction Donauwörth and Nuremberg .

The traffic routes in the traffic center have granite curbs , an extra thick road substructure and are wider than usual to increase traffic efficiency.

The roadside GVZ is around 4.5 kilometers from the bimodal transshipment point in the Augsburg Oberhausen district, with most of the route being transported via the B17.

It is planned to build a new container terminal with a rail connection.

rail

The consortium around the GVZ appears here as a railway infrastructure company (EIU). It has connection to the railway system of the main train station Augsburg ( Bahnhof Augsburg-Oberhausen is a rail station Part of Augsburg Hauptbahnhof), right next to the station platform track 7.6 Augsburg Oberhausen.

On the north-south axis, it connects the northern ports and, to the south, the Neue Eisenbahn Alpen Transversale (NEAT) towards Switzerland , Milan and Liguria , thus to the Ligurian Sea . It offers access to the western ports via Stuttgart , Karlsruhe (with a branch to Frankfurt am Main ) and Paris . It connects Italy via the Brenner Base Tunnel (BBT) and south-east Europe and the Adriatic ports via the Tauern route . There is also a connection to the Scandinavia- Mediterranean Corridor ( freight corridor 3) in the direction of Munich - Innsbruck - Verona - Naples , thus to the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Ionian Sea . The most important connection, however, is the Rhine - Danube Corridor (freight corridor 9) in the direction of Vienna - Bratislava (with a branch to Košice - Kiev ) - Budapest (with a branch to the freight transport corridor 7 , Orient - Eastern Mediterranean, to Belgrade - Sofia - Istanbul - Ankara / Belgrade - Skopje - Thessaloniki - Athens ) - Arad - Constanța . This connects the Black Sea in Constanța, the Marmara Sea in Istanbul and the Aegean Sea in Thessaloniki and Athens.

A combined container terminal for bimodal transport already exists for access to the rail network . The terminal has a capacity of around 24,000 loading units per year. It is due to the rail traffic connection at the Augsburg-Oberhausen train station in the Augsburg district of the same name, Oberhausen .

The container terminal for combined transport, which was officially approved in 2017, will also connect the road-side freight center to the DB Netz rail network . Several local partners cooperate as an investor with Deutsche Umschlaggesellschaft Schiene-Straße mbH (DUSS) under the umbrella company of TIA GmbH .

Air traffic

The Augsburg airfield is only about 8 kilometers away from the road-side transshipment point and can be reached via the A 8 (which functions as an urban motorway in this section ). The GVZ advertises problem-free, time-critical deliveries and a good starting point for business travelers as a quick alternative to car and train . The freight center does not operate its own terminal.

There are four international airports within a 2-hour drive. The Munich Airport ( IATA : MUC), as the largest airport in southern Germany, is only about 90 kilometers due east away. The route can be covered in 60 minutes via the A 8, A 99 and A 92 . The Stuttgart Airport (IATA: STR) is also just 130 kilometers to the west away. In about 1.5 hours you can get to the airport via the A8. The Memmingen Airport (IATA: FMM) is just 90 kilometers away and can be reached via the B 300th The most distant airport is in Nuremberg (IATA: NUE) and is just under 2 hours away via B 2.
