DWD warns of thunderstorms and heavy rain in Baden-Württemberg
Truck driver loses outhouse: woman slightly injured
The Federal Railway Authority (EBA) has rejected the application of the German Environmental Aid (DUH) as unfounded to stop the interruption of the Gäubahn in the city of Stuttgart due to Stuttgart 21. “We didn’t expect anything else,” said DUH federal manager Jürgen Resch on Tuesday morning. The “Stuttgarter Zeitung” and the “Stuttgarter Nachrichten” reported first.
The DUH has already filed a lawsuit against the Federal Railway Authority with the Administrative Court of Baden-Württemberg. The lawsuit is directed against the EBA because, according to the DUH, it did not reject Deutsche Bahn’s plans in a timely manner. The German Environmental Aid had argued that the disruption to the route due to rescheduling elsewhere on the project was taking longer than originally approved. The Federal Railway Authority in Bonn now contradicts this. “The planning approval decisions do not set a duration for the interruption of the Gäubahn,” said a spokeswoman for the authority on Tuesday.
Resch said that the arguments that the Bonn office put forward for rejecting the DUH decision contradict the planning approval for Stuttgart 21. “It clearly stipulates that the implementation of the planned sections must follow one another in direct succession, not just the submission of applications for their planning approval.”
The railway line from Stuttgart via Böblingen, Horb and Singen to Zurich is called the Gäubahn. Until the completion of the Pfaffensteig tunnel between Böblingen and Stuttgart Airport, Deutsche Bahn wants to detach them from Stuttgart Central Station and have them end at the regional station in Stuttgart-Vaihingen. The planned eleven-kilometre-long tunnel is to bring the trains of the Gäubahn directly from Böblingen via the airport to the new feeder line to the underground station in Stuttgart.
