history
construction
The tunnel was the fourth of eight tunnels the track in Bavaria, 14 October 2010 struck . Petra Platzgummer-Martin , Vice-President of the Government of Upper Franconia , acted as tunnel sponsor .
The tunnel runs through the Liasland west of Altenbanz at the foot of the Kulch, a 483 meter high elevation of the Banz mountains. Large parts of it were excavated in a northerly direction with excavators, and in the central part it was partly blown up. The structure has a double shell, watertight inner shell. Part of the planned 330,000 m³ excavated mass was installed in neighboring sections of the new line, the rest deposited as "landscape modeling".
The tunnel was cut through on November 20, 2011 at the north portal. The excavation was installed at the Weinberg landfill ( 50 ° 8 ′ 47 ″ N , 10 ° 57 ′ 5 ″ E ), southeast of the south portal. The inner tunnel shell was made from the south portal towards the north. A rescue shaft was built between Altenbanz and Rossach at km 93.414. On August 15, 2013, around 2500 residents and guests visited the building.
The total investment is 41 million euros.
