19 Switches in Three Construction Phases: Precision Work at Mannheim Central Station

From March to June 2026, HERING Bahnbau GmbH was involved in a major track construction project at Mannheim Central Station. A total of 19 switches were renewed during three closely coordinated construction phases. The contract was worth approximately €2.7 million.

A project of this scale requires precise planning and coordination. Numerous stakeholders, fixed track possessions and complex logistics had to be carefully aligned. Materials, machinery and personnel needed to be available at the right place and at the right time. At the same time, the work had to be coordinated with overhead line isolations, other trades and the specified construction windows.

The project involved more than the modernisation of the switch system. The track substructure was also extensively renewed, a switch blade assembly was replaced and the shunting routes were restored. Step by step, this created a modern, high-performance and durable rail infrastructure.

Thanks to the close cooperation of all teams involved, the project was completed successfully within the scheduled track possessions. Special thanks go to all employees and project partners who helped ensure smooth operations throughout the several-month construction period.
