More convenient, more efficient and more punctual
Passenger numbers on northern German rail services have risen sharply in recent years, and the necessary mobility turnaround is expected to lead to even more people switching to rail in the future. To make this possible, the infrastructure at the Hamburg hub is being massively expanded.
Passenger numbers have also been rising steadily for years on regional services between Hamburg, Ahrensburg and Bad Oldesloe. We are responding by constructing the S4. This new S-Bahn line will provide the region's inhabitants with better local transport between Hamburg and Bad Oldesloe. Some 250,000 people will benefit from this new service.
Opportunities and Benefits Financing
Conservation from day one
Protecting flora and fauna is of vital importance to Deutsche Bahn and all of our project partners. Together, we have designed a range of measures along the route that will safeguard water and soil quality as well as protect the existing landscape. We are working to ensure that the new S-Bahn does not pose a threat to endangered species such as the great crested newt.
Modern noise control along the route
The plans for the S4 line include comprehensive active and passive noise mitigation measures, such as trackside barriers and a host of other features. Our website contains detailed information about these and about how our work will change noise levels along the line.
Answers to the most important questions
We want you to have the most comprehensive information possible about the S4. What is the current status of the project plans? When will construction work start? And what impact will the project have on people and nature? We have identified the key questions about the project and now have the answers for you.
In-depth information about the planning process and our construction work
20 kilometres of existing line from Hasselbrook to Ahrensburg-Gartenholz will be upgraded for the new S-Bahn service. The project consists of three sections. Each of them has its own specific planning procedure, which means separate approval is necessary for every section.
Our project diary
There's a lot happening when it comes to the planning and construction of the new S4. Our project diary keeps track of the latest developments and follows how the project is going. Members of the project team also provide details about their work so you know more about what's happening in the background. It's a mine of interesting information. Enjoy!
