Rosenstein Tunnel
The Rosenstein tunnel (german: Rosensteintunnel) is the name of several past, present and planned tunnels in the Stuttgart metropolitan area, in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. Today it is a railway tunnel under Rosenstein Park to Bad Cannstatt. It now connects the Fils Valley Railway (''Filstalbahn'') from Stuttgart Central Station (''Hauptbahnhof'') to the Rosenstein Bridge over the Neckar to Bad Cannstatt station. Rosenstein first tunnel (1844-1915) The first railway tunnel in Württemberg was built during the construction of the Württemberg Central Railway (''Zentralbahn'') directly under the central axis of Rosenstein Castle. This tunnel was planned by Carl Etzel to link Stuttgart with Cannstatt. In principle, the Rosenstein hill could have been bypassed, but the tunnel allowed a better positioning of Cannstatt station and kept the palace garden (''Schlossgarten'') from being cut by the railway. Nevertheless, its construction was controversial, as critics feared ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bundesstraße 10
The Bundesstraße 10 (abbr. B10) is a German federal highway. It leads from Eppelborn, near the city of Lebach in Saarland, eastward to Neusäß near Augsburg in Bavaria. The Bundesautobahn 8 mostly runs in parallel to the Bundesstraße 10. After a very short strip near Eppelborn leading to the Bundesautobahn 1, the road continues at Pirmasens. Because the construction of the A 8 through the Pfälzerwald never commenced, the Bundesstraße 10 has to carry the east-west traffic, though plans to upgrade the road to four lanes are underway. At Landau, the Bundesautobahn 65 replaces the Bundesstraße 10 up to the city of Wörth am Rhein, from where it continues to Karlsruhe, crossing the river Rhine, through Pforzheim, the city of Stuttgart, Göppingen, Ulm up to Neusäß, shortly before the city of Augsburg. Especially the part in Baden-Württemberg suffers from heavy traffic and high congestion, and there are attempts to improve the traffic situation by upgrading the road. Original ...

Stuttgart North Station
Stuttgart Nord station (german: Nordbahnhof) is in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. It consists of a passenger railway station on the Stuttgart S-Bahn and a goods yard. History Owing to the increasing volume of traffic, the Royal Württemberg State Railways (''Königlich Württembergische Staats-Eisenbahnen'') required further locomotives. In 1891, the railways acquired land for a new yard in the district of Prag at the junction of the Gäu and the Northern Railways (''Frankenbahn'') with a locomotive depot with 59 locomotive stalls and a freight yard. Two years later, in 1893, construction began. The aim was to relieve the old Stuttgart Central Station. Tracks were also laid from Feuerbach for freight trains running towards the Gäu Railway. In April 1894, the railway depot was inaugurated. On 1 November 1895, operations started at the Prag goods yard (''Prag-Güterbahnhof''). It also had a military loading ramp and a loading dock for the discharge of sewage. The Prag ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
