course
The single-tube railway tunnel connects directly to the 55 m long Saubach Bridge in the south , which in turn begins 65 m after the north portal of the Bleßberg tunnel . The north portal is at 134.343 km (coordinates: 50 ° 30 ′ 34 ″ N , 10 ° 59 ′ 37 ″ E ), 50 m north of it the 215 m long Grubental Bridge begins .
The gradient rises continuously in the tunnel to the north portal with 6.67 per thousand.
An emergency exit at kilometer 134.119 leads via a 245.5 m long, accessible parallel tunnel to the west of the main tunnel to the north portal, where there is also a weather station.
history
The Goldberg tunnel was part of the third construction lot of the Bleßberg tunnel, which included the 1163 m long Goldberg tunnel, two valley bridges and the 3671 m long northern section of the Bleßberg tunnel. After the completion of the tunnel shell, it served, together with the Saubach Bridge, as access for the construction work on the north portal of the Bleßberg tunnel.
For the construction of the third construction section, 1.3 million cubic meters of rock were blasted out of the mountain and a total of 40 million euros was invested in the Goldberg tunnel. The tunneling work began on December 4th, 2008, the breakthrough took place on July 8th, 2009. The Thuringian state parliament member Beate Meißner took over the sponsorship of the tunnel . The tunnel was therefore also called the Beatetunnel during the construction phase . The inner tunnel shell was only produced from south to north in autumn 2012, as the tunnel was used to remove the excavated material and to deliver the concrete to the Bleßberg tunnel.
The northern rescue area of the tunnel had to be enlarged later. For this, the slope was secured and retaining walls were built.
On February 28, 2019, the Federal Administrative Court decided on a lawsuit from the State of Thuringia and the district of Sonneberg on the size of various rescue areas along the route. At a rescue area in the Bleßberg tunnel , the court ruled that the plaintiffs were right, u. a. in relation to the Goldberg tunnel, however, the action was dismissed.
