The new S4

On November 14, we welcomed local residents from Section 2 to our Area & Property Management Information Evening at the UCI Cinema in Wandsbek. Around 160 property owners and residents attended, listening to our presentation on area and property management followed by a Q&A session. Alongside the area and property management team, experts in technical planning, environmental matters, stakeholder management, and property valuation were also on hand. 

We are delighted to welcome Bernd Homfeldt as the new head of the S4 suburban railway line and the general overhaul of Hamburg–Lübeck as well as Hamburg Central Station and the Verbindungsbahnentlastungstunnel as of 1 November!

With his extensive experience at Deutsche Bahn and his enthusiasm for innovative projects in Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein, he will support the project team in realising our visions and achieving many milestones in construction and planning.

Bernd Homfeldt has worked for Deutsche Bahn for remarkable 47 years and has already managed and driven forward impressive, forward-looking (major) projects in the past, such as the electrification of the Hamburg–Lübeck-Travemünde railway line or the rail link to the Fehmarnbeltquerung. As a true Schleswig-Hosteiner, Homfeldt already knows the region very well, and not just through past projects.

We look forward to working together!

Construction work on the first section of the S4 S-Bahn line has been underway since 2021. Now construction section 2 is also set to progress. But before we start the construction work, we would like to talk to you and inform you about the upcoming area utilisation and associated processes in construction section 2, because: Most of the land required for the construction of the S4 and the associated statutory compensation and replacement measures is privately owned. Deutsche Bahn is compensating the owners and leaseholders of these areas for the respective type of area utilisation.

We would like to explain what is involved at an information evening on area management on Thursday, 14 November 2024 at 6 pm in Room 7 of the UCI Kino Wandsbek, Friedrich-Ebert-Damm 134, 22047 Hamburg.

The space management team will explain the terminology and processes involved in space management and answer any questions you may have. Please note that this event is purely for information and direct dialogue with you and that no individual cases can be discussed or negotiated.

"Area management is one of the basic building blocks in a project such as the S4. In order to work together with you as early and transparently as possible, we cordially invite you to ask us any questions you may have. We look forward to talking to you!" 
– Amina Karam, former General Director S-Line S4 & General Overhaul Hamburg-Lübeck
