The Offenburg Tunnel is a planned railway tunnel on the new and upgraded Karlsruhe-Basel line in Offenburg . It concerns the section between the route kilometers 139.5 and 151.3.

The tunnel should be designed for a maximum speed of 120 km / h and comprise two tubes, of which the western tunnel tube should have a length of 8.8 km and the eastern one a length of 11.2 km. It would be the longest tunnel in Germany .

The structure is intended to cross under the urban area of ​​Offenburg and thereby bypass Offenburg train station. The tunnel is only to be used for freight trains, with passenger trains continuing to run above ground via Offenburg station and the previous Rhine Valley railway route.

The tunnel tubes are to be built predominantly with two tunnel boring machines , with sections connected to the north and south using the open construction method . Both tunnel tubes branch out in the north and connect to the lines 4000 and 4280 of the new and upgraded Karlsruhe-Basel line without any elevation.

The tunnel is part of the planning approval section 7.1 of the project for the new and upgraded Karlsruhe-Basel line . According to the current state of planning, the northern tunnel portals will be located south of the federal highway B 28 (east tube) and in the Offenburg freight yard (west tube). In the south, both tunnels end at the level of the industrial park on the A5 motorway .

history

An above-ground route initially planned by Deutsche Bahn ("Trasse A3") turned out to be not approved in 2013. This intensified the requirement for a tunnel. A freight train tunnel for Offenburg had already been requested from various sides. Possible tunnel variants had already been examined by a planning office in 2011. As a result of the preliminary investigations, three route variants were developed.

In 2014 the planned tunnel length was 7 km, the design speed was already 120 km / h. Mining was planned over a length of about 6.7 km. The tunnel was to begin in the north approximately at the level of Bachstrasse in the Offenburg district of Bohlsbach and reappear south of Schutterwalder Strasse (L 99), right next to the A5 motorway .

On June 26, 2015, the project advisory board voted in favor of the Offenburg tunnel. The tunnel is one of several measures that the Rheintalbahn Project Advisory Board decided at its tenth and final meeting. The adopted changes to the existing planning in the amount of two billion euros are intended to help implement noise protection that goes beyond the legal requirements.

Following the decision of the project advisory board, the Federal Ministry of Transport released funds for service phase 1 (including basic research ).

Deutsche Bahn does not anticipate commissioning before 2035. Previously, commissioning was officially expected for 2029. In the short term, more than 2,100 residential units are to be better protected from railway noise as part of a voluntary noise abatement. The citizens' initiative Eisenbahnrasse sees this as a declaration of war on the population .

On January 28, 2016, the German Bundestag decided to build and finance the tunnel. On March 26, 2016, Deutsche Bahn announced planning services for the tunnel and the adjoining above-ground route areas across Europe. A basic assessment and preliminary planning (work phases 1 and 2) should be prepared from January 2017 to the end of August 2018. The draft and approval planning (service phases 3 and 4) was planned as an option, from September 2018 to the end of June 2024, the implementation planning from 2025 to 2036. The award of the construction contracts was planned between the end of June 2024 and the end of September 2025.

A first information event for residents took place on November 29, 2016. Planning services should be awarded in 2016. The preliminary planning started in January 2017. On the basis of the feasibility study, different variants for the tunnel and its integration are to be developed. The preliminary planning should be available in the second half of 2019. It should be completed in 2020. According to more recent information, the preliminary planning should be handed over by the general contractor at the end of June 2018.

Costs and financing

The costs for a tunnel in Offenburg are not yet taken into account in the cost estimate by Deutsche Bahn for the entire project of 6.172 billion euros (as of 2013).

The cost of the tunnel should amount to 1.18 billion euros (as of 2015) and be borne entirely by the federal government.

The estimated planning costs for the tunnel are roughly estimated at 80 to 100 million euros.
