The Schellenberg Tunnel (also Schellenberg Tunnel ) is a railway tunnel on the high-speed line Nuremberg – Ingolstadt under the 494 m high Schellenberg near Kinding . With a length of 650 m (route km 57.840 to 58.490) it is the shortest of the nine tunnels on the route.
The tube accommodates two tracks in slab track , which can be driven on at 300 km / h. The gradient slopes slightly towards the south.
Immediately to the south is the Kinding train station in the Altmühltal , directly followed by the 7.2 km long Irlahüll tunnel . In a northerly direction the route runs in the valley of the Anlauter for a few hundred meters in the open, before it dips into the 7.7 km long Euerwangtunnel , the longest tube of the route.
As the Kinding station could only just be accommodated between the Schellenberg and Irlahll tunnels , a transfer point for the station (four points ) had to be installed in the mountain.
Due to its short length, it is the only tube on the route that did not require an emergency exit . Emergency lighting - required from 500 meters in length - is available.
A road and a cycle path lead over the south portal.
history
background
In the Ingolstadt variant of the new line, a tunnel through the Schellenberg was planned as early as 1985.
In a confidential report by the Bavarian State Office for Environmental Protection comparing the Ingolstadt and Augsburg variants, the authority spoke out against the Ingolstadt variant in mid-1990, among other things because of serious interventions in the Anlautertal. A length of 650 m was planned for the tunnel (km 57.7 to 58.3).
planning
In mid-1994 the planned length was 660 m. The building was planned as early as 1999 with a length of 650 m, which was realized later.
The structure was part of the planning approval section 52 of the new line as well as the central lot .
construction
The single-tube tunnel was built using the New Austrian Tunneling Method . The drive was carried out exclusively from the south portal towards the north, between the end of April and mid-December 2000. The inner shell was produced between April and December 2001.
The tunnel was part of the contract section center of the new line, with which the Hochtief AG ( Munich ) was commissioned.
