New Stuttgart–Ulm Line: Tunnel Drive for the
“Große Wendlinger Kurve” Started
Deutsche Bahn (German Railways) began driving the tunnel for the Große Wendlinger Kurve on March 30, 2023. The existing Stuttgart–Tübingen rail line will be connected to the infrastructure being built as part of Stuttgart 21 via the Kleine and Große Wendlinger Kurve (large and small Wendlinger curve).
The single-track Wendlinger Kurve is part of the Stuttgart 21 project and creates a connection between the new rail infrastructure in and out of Stuttgart and the Neckartalbahn from Metzingen, Reutlingen and Tübingen.
A second track was included in Stuttgart 21 as an option without structural provisions. Due to the expected benefits of a second track for rail traffic in the region, the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Transport commissioned Deutsche Bahn to plan this addition to the Stuttgart–Ulm rail project and to build the second track known as the Große Wendlinger Kurve.
