Verbindungsbahn (Stuttgart)
The name Verbindungsbahn (German for connection line) is used in Stuttgart to describe the railway line between the subterranean S-Bahn Stuttgart station at Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof and the tunnel exit at the station in Stuttgart-Österfeld, which connects, via tunnel, the Stuttgart valley and the Filder plateau. The term originates from the planning stages in the 1960s, when similar projects for the S-Bahn München and S-Bahn Rhein-Main were referred to with the same term. With a length of 8.788 km, the tunnel is the longest S-Bahn tunnel in Germany, and was the longest railway tunnel of any kind in Germany from 1985 until 1988, when the Landrückentunnel was opened for service. The tunnel is made up of two sections: the 2.6 km long section from Stuttgart Hbf to the station at Schwabstrasse, and the 5.5 km long Hasenberg tunnel, which ascends to the Filder plateau. As part of the project Stuttgart 21, the tunnel is scheduled to be extended by new underground construction, such as the new Rosenstein tunnel. The first section of the tunnel was constructed between 1971 and 1978, mostly utilizing the cut-and-cover method of construction; only at the terminal loop and a short piece between the Hauptbahnhof and city center was the mining/boring technique of construction used. The second section, constructed between 1981 and 1985, utilized the mining method, with the exception of the station at the University of Stuttgart.
