With a rail network of over 33.300 km and about 40.000 trains per day, Deutsche Bahn (DB) Netz AG is Europe’s biggest provider of rail infrastructure. Deutsche Bahn is responsible for connecting the Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link with the German rail network. To meet the requirements of future traffic, a new electrified double-track railway line leading to the tunnel will be constructed. Thanks to a top speed of 200 km/h, traveling time will be reduced for regional as well as long-distance trains. For example, passengers can get from Hamburg to Copenhagen in only 2.5 hours – roughly half the current duration.
