In addition to Stuttgart 21 and the new Wendlingen – Ulm line , the Neu-Ulm 21 project is part of the new and upgraded Stuttgart – Augsburg line operated by Deutsche Bahn AG . As part of the project, the tracks on the existing Ulm – Augsburg lines and in the direction of Kempten that run through the inner city of Neu-Ulm were lowered and the Neu-Ulm train station was replaced by a new building. The areas freed up (18 hectares) enable a new urban development. The project goes back to a suggestion made by the traffic scientist Gerhard Heimerl in 1988 and is one of the Bahnhof 21 projects.

The total costs were given in 2011 at 198 million euros.

After the project was officially completed on November 24, 2007, part of the areas previously used for rail traffic in Neu-Ulm's inner city was redesigned for the 2008 Bavarian State Garden Show . In addition, new residential units, offices and a shopping center were built.

The core of Neu-Ulm 21 is the renovation of the Neu-Ulm train station. The number of train tracks in the city center was reduced from 16 to four. The track system was lowered over a length of around four kilometers and moved around 100 meters. In the inner city area, the tracks now run in a partially covered trough structure. The length of the trough is 1,483 m, the clear width is between 21.5 m and 32.6 m. The new reception building and the central transfer point ( bus station ) are located on the western cover of the trough . On the eastern lid of the trough a arose park-and-ride - parking .

The line from Augsburg was partially expanded to four tracks. The two northern tracks are used for long-distance traffic, the two southern tracks for regional traffic. In addition, the railway line to Kempten was expanded to double tracks up to the level of Europastraße. This made it necessary to convert the Finninger Strasse stop . Various industrial track connections were adapted.

At the same time as Neu-Ulm 21, but as an independent project, the Danube bridge was expanded from two to four tracks. In terms of planning law, this is still part of the new Wendlingen – Ulm line (section 2.5a2). The 19 million euro bridge went into operation in mid-November 2007. The embankment adjoining the Danube bridge on the Neu-Ulm side was widened to include four adjacent tracks. For this purpose, the railway overpasses over Schützenstrasse and Philosophenweg had to be rebuilt while operations continued.

In the course of the project, the track system was lowered over a length of around 3.6 km. This means that three level crossings were also omitted .

The area freed up corresponds to a third of the previous inner city area of ​​Neu-Ulm.

history

planning

The regional planning procedure for the area between Wendlingen , Ulm and Neu-Ulm ran from 1995 and 1997. The Neu-Ulm 21 project was presented in February 1996. In the same year a first urban planning concept for Neu-Ulm 21 was presented.

On December 5, 1997, representatives of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Free State of Bavaria, the City of Neu-Ulm and Deutsche Bahn AG signed a framework agreement on the project in Neu-Ulm City Hall. The 300 million D-Mark project should therefore be implemented by 2003. Of this, 177 million D-Marks were to be raised by the Federal Government, 55 million D-Marks by the Free State, 36 million D-Marks by the city and 31 million D-Marks by Deutsche Bahn AG. The planning approval documents should be submitted to the Federal Railway Authority from mid-1998 . The opening was planned for the 2003 summer timetable.

According to Deutsche Bahn, the estimated costs were only slightly higher than those for an urgently needed conventional conversion. According to the company from 1996, the lowering of the tracks would not be more expensive than measures already planned under the Railway Crossing Act . The then Federal Transport Minister Matthias Wissmann emphasized when signing the framework agreement that the federal share was limited to the share that was already intended for the conventional new construction and expansion of the railway systems.

In 1998 an urban planning expert procedure was carried out. In November 1998 the Neu-Ulm City Council decided on the urban planning framework for the project. The planning approval procedure was initiated on March 8, 1999, and the consultation procedure was concluded in December of the same year. The planning approval decision was issued on October 25, 2001. The project formed the planning approval section 2.5b of the new and upgraded Stuttgart – Ulm – Augsburg line.

In mid-February 2001, the federal government and the states of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg agreed to pre-finance the Stuttgart 21 project, the new Wendlingen – Ulm and Neu-Ulm 21 line. The total cost of pre-financing the two projects was given as 1.26 billion Deutschmarks . The state of Bavaria took over the costs for the Neu-Ulm area. The state share of Baden-Württemberg was put at just over a billion D-Mark. The federal government undertook to pay its share over a period of eight years from 2011. With the approval of the federal government, the state of Bavaria concluded an agreement on pre-financing. In the meantime (as of March 2012) this has been partially replaced “within the scope of SV1”. The Supervisory Board of Deutsche Bahn then approved the continuation of the planning on March 14, 2001.

On August 12, 2002, representatives of the state, railways and city signed a second supplementary agreement to the framework agreement. The Free State of Bavaria committed itself to pre-finance the federal portion of 93.2 million euros. Overall costs of 159 million euros were planned. The Free State also contributed its own contribution of 29 million euros. The expansion of the Danube bridge in Ulm was part of the project. Construction work should begin in September 2003 and last through 2006. Commissioning was scheduled for the beginning of 2007 and final completion in 2008.

The project should be brought forward for the state horticultural show taking place in Neu-Ulm in 2008 . The pre-financing made it possible to bring forward the start-up date planned by Deutsche Bahn in 2011.

The project was initially planned by DBProjekt GmbH Stuttgart 21 , which later operated as DB Projekt Süd GmbH .

construction

Construction work began on March 18, 2003. The groundbreaking ceremony was held on September 18, 2003. At a cost of almost 160 million euros, completion was expected in early 2008. Due to pre-financing by the State of Bavaria, Neu-Ulm 21 was the only Bavarian rail project that did not have to be delayed or discontinued due to declining federal funds.

A total of 6.2 km of new route was built, including 2.2 km on the route towards Kempten. Around 600,000 m³ of excavated material was dug and largely reinstalled close to the construction site. Around 40,000 people visited the construction site.

business

The project, together with the new Danube bridge, went into operation on November 18, 2007. The opening ceremony followed on November 24, 2007 in the presence of Bavaria's Prime Minister Günther Beckstein , Federal Transport Minister Wolfgang Tiefensee and Baden-Württemberg's Interior Minister Heribert Rech . First the regional tracks were put into operation, the long-distance tracks followed shortly thereafter. Since then, all train traffic has been running on the new tracks in the trough.

At the beginning of 2012, among other things, there were still remaining work, rectification of defects and documentation.

Costs and financing

The total costs for the renovation of the tracks and the train station amounted to 160 million euros.

According to the city of Neu-Ulm, the “no-matter-of-fact costs” for the route expansion in the area of ​​the Neu-Ulm 21 project would have amounted to 61.8 million euros. These funds were made available in accordance with the Federal Railways Expansion Act. The financing share of Deutsche Bahn was also based on the operational advantages of the project.

In 2002, 159 million euros were given. Of this, the federal government should contribute 93, the Free State of Bavaria 29, the city of Neu-Ulm 38 and Deutsche Bahn AG 34 million euros. In 2011 the cost was given as 198 million euros.

Urban development

Playground in Glacispark Ost during the State Garden Show 2008

The starting point for the reuse of the area was the 2008 State Garden Show, which took place on parts of the former railway site south of the new train station. There, in the immediate vicinity of the existing tree population, the Stadtpark- Glacis was expanded, in the western part of which a state garden show took place as early as 1980. In addition to extensive green areas, a playground was created. In addition, the Green Bridge was created, a direct connection axis for pedestrians and cyclists between the banks of the Danube, the city center and the southern districts of Neu-Ulm up to the Ludwigsfeld Baggersee. In the area of ​​the former railway area, several bridge constructions were built on the one hand over the new railway trough and on the other hand over the new green areas as well as through the old trees, further over the ring road to the apron residential area.

The area southeast of the new railway line between the newly created Meininger Allee and Glacispark was developed for residential construction. In several construction phases around Caponniere 4 of the Ulm federal fortress, under the name Wohnen am Glacispark, more than 350 residential units in buildings with up to eight floors as well as a kindergarten, which has been awarded several architecture prizes. The first construction phase was ready for occupancy in December 2008 after the state horticultural show was over. After intermittent problems due to the economic crisis and concerns about the oversaturation of the housing market, construction work did not continue until 2011. The last construction phases were completed at the end of 2017 and include several hundred residential units as well as rooms for medical practices, offices and restaurants. The caponniere itself is used for cultural events in the summer months.

The Glacis-Galerie shopping center was built north-west of the railway line along Bahnhofstrasse in April 2013 . The opening took place on March 19, 2015. There is space for almost 100 shops and more than ten dining facilities on around 25,000 m² of retail space.

Quartier living at the art park

Between 2014 and 2017, office buildings and apartments were built under the name Wohnen am Kunstpark on the area between Glacis-Galerie, the new Park & ​​Ride-Platz and Reuttier Straße . During the construction work, walls and two bridge abutments of the former federal fortress were exposed. The resulting coordination with the monument protection department delayed further construction by more than a year. Ultimately, however, the remains could not be meaningfully integrated into the new building and were removed, which led to massive criticism.

For the 2.5 hectare area west of the Glacis Gallery between the railway line and Gartenstraße, further residential and commercial development under the name Südstadtbogen is planned. After the first development plan with the name Grüne Höfe from 2013 was not implemented, a new plan from 2015 provides for around 450 apartments and a 13-storey office building Südstadtturm . A three-story underground car park with a total of 800 parking spaces is to be built underneath. Construction began in autumn 2017. To compensate for the multi-storey car park at the train station that was closed in May 2016, 350 of the new underground parking spaces are to be used, which are to be available from the end of 2018. In the western part of the area, a private student residence with 292 apartments was built from the beginning of 2016 and was completed in early 2017.
