The Mühlen Tunnel is a 309 m long railway tunnel on the Stuttgart – Tuttlingen line . It is located northwest of the Mühlen am Neckar district of the city of Horb am Neckar and therefore bears his name.

The tunnel, located between route kilometers 63.279 and 63.588, accommodates two tracks that can be driven on at speeds of up to 90 km / h. The route describes a right curve in a southerly direction.

history

The tunnel was built between 1871 and 1874. The structure was capitalized in 1927 .

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").

Around 2014 the tunnel was used daily by 14 long-distance passenger trains, 68 local rail passenger trains and 20 freight trains.

In 2014 it was planned to renovate the masonry over a two-year period from 2016.
