Level crossings in Wittstock closed until July 10th – diversions planned!

General renovation of the route
The general renovation of the Hamburg-Berlin railway line is a comprehensive project planned by Deutsche Bahn (DB) in cooperation with the federal government. This significant work will be carried out from August 2025 to April 2026 and is part of a larger plan to modernize Germany's rail infrastructure. Almost 470 trains use this route every day, which is 278 kilometers long and is of central importance for long-distance, regional and freight transport. As the German railway reports, more than 180 kilometers of tracks and around 200 switches need to be replaced in order to meet the high requirements.
The general renovation is divided into three main areas: Hamburg-Büchen, Büchen-Dergenthin and Dergenthin-Berlin. Six new transfer points will also be built to increase the flexibility and stability of operations. The work also includes the renewal of the existing control and safety technology as well as the construction of new signal box buildings.
Sustainability and future
A further step towards sustainability is the vegetation work, which is scheduled to begin in October 2025. The aim is to improve rail infrastructure by protecting against falling trees, using native plants to increase biodiversity.
