A damage caused by the division of Germany, should be fixed

According to the parliamentary state Secretary in the Federal Ministry of transport, Enak Ferlemann (CDU), a distance of 14.2 kilometers, is to be expanded. Why is a small track for the railway is so important, but a network of several thousands of kilometers? "With the construction, we eliminate part of the damage that is caused by the division of Germany and Europe," said Ferlemann.

Since the tunnel construction is significantly more expensive and the problems of the above-ground route would correspond to the statutory requirements, the above-ground variant of the preference, had declared the judge.
