HOCHTIEF, together with its partner Implenia, has been awarded a major contract by Deutsche Bahn for the second main line of the S-Bahn rail network in Munich (Germany). The new project mainly involves connecting the Ostbahnhof station with the Marienhof stop in the heart of the Bavarian capital. Both companies each have a 50% share in the Tunnel Ostbahnhof consortium.
The joint venture, under the technical leadership of HOCHTIEF Infrastructure, will construct two traffic tunnels and a rescue tunnel, the underground station Munich East, as well as a new track underpass, over a distance of approximately three kilometers. Construction work will begin in June 2025 and is scheduled to be completed by May 2033.
Both companies have already been working together on a central hub for Munich’s second main line. In 2018, the joint-venture partners were awarded the contract to build the central, underground Marienhof station. Work there is now well-advanced at a depth of up to 44 meters.
The second main line is an additional largely underground inner-city connection that runs roughly parallel to the first main line in the center of Munich, which opened in 1972. The project extends over a length of around 11 kilometers and serves to increase capacity on the heavily used section.
