Baden-Württemberg moves to centre stage
“The new heart of Europe“ is a key investment in the future of Baden-Württemberg. The Stuttgart – Ulm new-build line will form part of the European high-speed “Magistrale for Europe”, which links cities and regions with a total population of 34 million in four different countries. Karlsruhe, Stuttgart and Ulm are located right in the centre of this 1500-kilometre long railway line, which connects the European metropolises of Paris, Strasbourg, Munich and Vienna with Bratislava and Budapest. As the central west-eastbound route, the Magistrale for Europe forms the backbone of the pan-European rail network. Upgrading this corridor is a crucial requirement for enabling rapid economic, political and cultural integration of Western and Eastern Europe. The following are just some of the advantages:
- Faster connections to international long-distance transport
- Convenient alternative to growing private car and air traffic
- Faster connections to the entire region
The "Magistrale for Europe" Initiative is supported by a broad-based alliance of cities, regions and chambers of industry and commerce in France, Germany, Austria, Slovakia and Hungary. Stuttgart, Ulm and Karlsruhe are also members of the Initiative.
