history

planning

In the planning and construction phase, the tunnel in planning section 14 was in the middle section of the route.

In 1984 the structure was planned with a length of 2840 m and was calculated at 63.1 million DM .

construction

The Sengebergtunnel consortium , consisting of Thyssen Schachtbau , Ostu and Stenin Bauunternehmung, was commissioned with the construction .

Construction began in December 1983. The tunnel was on May 9, 1984 struck . About 100 invited guests attended the attack ceremony, including Transport Minister Werner Dollinger and Railway Chief Reiner Gohlke . Herta Dollinger, the wife of the then Federal Minister of Transport, Dollinger, acted as tunnel sponsor. During the construction phase, the structure was therefore also called the Herta Tunnel .

With about five tees per day, four to six meters were driven through the red sandstone every day .

The breakthrough took place on November 7, 1985.
