Map with all coordinates: The Hattinger Tunnel is a 900 m long railway tunnel near Hattingen .
In the structure, the Black Forest Railway crosses under the European main watershed between the Rhine and Danube on the Swabian Alb .
It is the southernmost and last of the 39 tunnels on the route.
Location and course
The structure, located between route kilometers 124.171 and 125.067, adjoins the Hattingen depot immediately to the south. The route runs in a straight line in the tunnel. Arches are attached to both portals.
The gradient falls in the tunnel with a longitudinal slope of 1:60 in a southerly direction. From a vertex in front of the north portal (690 m above sea level) the route to Singen (428 above sea level) drops continuously.
The masonry structure, located in the Jura limestone , accommodates two tracks with a ballasted superstructure that can be driven on at 90 km / h.
A GSM-R base station is located near the south portal , which among other things supplies the tunnel with radio communications.
history
In 1868 the section between Donaueschingen and Engen was opened. The continuation of the route over the Hattinger Steige from the south to Engen in 1866 had delayed the continuation.
In 1904 a second track was added to the 15 km long section between Immendingen and Engen.
The structure was capitalized in 1927 .
The permissible speed in 1960 was 70 km / h and was increased to 90 km / h by 1978.
In the course of the electrification of the line, the tunnel floor was lowered by 65 cm in the 1970s to make room for the catenary.
In 2008, the building was rated 2 ("Major damage to the building part which does not affect safety. Measures for preventive maintenance are to be checked for their economic viability for long and medium-term (longer than 18 years) building parts."), Condition rating 3 in 2014 and 2017 ("Extensive damage to the structural part, which does not affect the stability. Repair is still possible, its profitability must be checked").
In 2011 it was reported that the tunnel will be closed from 2012 "for a long time".
Around 2014 the tunnel was used daily by 16 long-distance passenger trains, 51 local rail passenger trains and 11 freight trains.
In the second half of the 2010s, renovation of masonry and drainage were planned.
In the course of a full closure of the section between Hattingen and Engen, in August and until September 8, 2019, work is to be carried out in the tunnel.
