Stuttgart 21: Construction site open days from 30.03. to 01.04., from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. - Construction progress clearly visible on the first light eyes, platforms and walkways

The association Bahnprojekt Stuttgart-Ulm e. V. invites you to the three open construction site days around Stuttgart Central Station from Holy Saturday (30.03.2024). From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day up to and including Easter Monday, April 1, 2024, interested parties can view the new station building with the striking chalice-shaped columns, the closed platform hall roof and the first light eyes, the first platforms in the station trough and the conversion of the Bonatz building. Experts will inform visitors at around 20 information stands about construction progress, the Stuttgart Digital Node and local and regional transport (bwegt) as well as the Stuttgart S-Bahn and Stuttgart Rosenstein. The two entrances to the construction site are located near the station tower and near the Staatsgalerie / Wulle-Steg stop. The last admission is at 16:30. Admission is free.

„Stuttgart 21, with its centerpiece, the new Stuttgart Central Station, is aiming for thetowards completion. In 2024, all interested parties should also be able to find out about the current state of construction first-hand and directly on site. A lot has happened in the last twelve months: the roof of the platform hall is completely closed. The first light eyes are almost finished, the first platforms are visible in the through station and the passenger walkways span the trough,“ says Bernhard Bauer, Chairman of the Stuttgart Railway Project Association.Ulm. „In addition to the construction highlights, the focus will be on personal discussions with the experts and a walk through the new platform hall and over the completed roof. We know from previous events that visitors are looking forward to this very special opportunity with great anticipation, to get an impression of the progress made at the station.“

In addition, the association members will be taking the opportunity to present their future topics. bwegt, the mobility brand of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Transport for local public transport in Baden-Württemberg, will be represented with its own stands, as will the state capital Stuttgart with „Stuttgart Rosenstein“. The Verband Region Stuttgart will also be providing information together with DB Regio S-Bahn Stuttgart as part of the open construction site days.

The Stuttgart-Ulm rail project association, together with DB Projekt Stuttgart-Ulm GmbH and its partners, has been organizing the opportunity for citizens to visit the construction site since 2016. Last year, over 90,000 visitors came to experience the construction progress over the three days. In addition to the specialist topics and the impressive buildings, the youngest visitors were also catered for: with children's excavators, a children's Easter rally and painting and search stations, it is worthwhile a visit for the whole family. This year's event is the eighth, as it was not possible to visit to this extent in the coronavirus year 2021.

All the association's information on the open construction site days can be found on the homepage www.its-projekt.de as well as on the Facebook and Instagram channels (@infoturmstuttgart).
