As part of the Stuttgart 21 Project, the Deutsche Bundesbahn is due to clear its railway sites north of the city centre in favour of a new urban development. This includes the entire Gleisbogen landscape with its railway tracks, embankments and bridges. Its wholesame demolition has not yet been decided, though. There is still a chance to stimulate a public discourse upon this railway infrastructural landmark<\/a>, neglected for a long time.<\/p>\n

The Stuttgart Gleisbogen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Commissioned by the Royal National Railways of W\u00fcrttemberg, the Stuttgart Gleisbogen has been built by Wayss & Freytag AG to the plans of civil engineer Karl Sch\u00e4chterle from 1908-1914 to connect the then new terminus Central Station designed by P. Bonatz and F.E. Scholer (the first part of which was unveiled in 1922, with the station being completed in 1928) to the regional, national and international railway network.<\/p>\n

As this outstanding urban historical monument of railway infrastructure had already left its indelible mark on the valley area of Stuttgart North, its potential to contribute to a transformed identity of this quarter cannot be overestimated.<\/p>\n\n\n
