The Sulzer Tunnel is a 296 m long railway tunnel on the Stuttgart – Tuttlingen line in Sulz am Neckar .

The straight tunnel, which runs between the route kilometers 94.703 and 95.001, accommodates a track that can be driven at up to 110 km / h. In the area of the north portal, a second track leads out on a switch in a northerly direction.

The southern entry signal of the station Sulz am Neckar is southwest of the tunnel, the tunnel is thus operationally part of the station.

In 2008, the structure was rated 1 ("Punctual damage to the structural part that does not affect safety.

Repairs are still possible, their profitability must be checked").
