As part of the implementation of the i2030 project (project for better rail infrastructure in the capital region), the existing Fangschleuse station will be relocated approx. 2 km to the west by 2026 and the future northern factory gate to the Tesla car plant will be directly connected. The new station forecourt will be home to the connecting facilities with buses, cars and bicycles and the Tesla factory gate. The railway station will be accessible to the north by footpaths and cycle paths to Grünheide.
The aim of the new construction of the station forecourt is to increase the attractiveness and networking for the use of public transport with particular importance for the functionality of this connection and with a high quality of stay for the users. The public space to be created also represents the entrance to the automobile factory, which places further design and urban planning requirements on the implementation.
The area to be planned and built is part of the legally binding development plan no. 13 "Freienbrink Nord" 1st amendment as well as in the over-planning by the development plan no. 60 "Service and logistics center Freienbrink" currently being drawn up and is designated as a traffic area with a special purpose.
The negotiation procedure with participation competition includes the awarding of various service areas of planning services according to the Fee Schedule for Architects and Engineers (HOAI), initially for LP 5-7 and optionally for LP 8-9. The required service areas include object planning for buildings (parking deck, B+R facility, cladding and design PU under L 386, canopy for bus station, break room for bus drivers), structural engineering, outdoor space planning, traffic facility planning, engineering structure planning, technical equipment and engineering surveying during planning.
The basis is the cost calculation of service phase 3, which is available up to the negotiated procedure. The cost estimate of LP 2 is currently available at EUR 11,200 thousand.
The following quantity structures are planned on the north and south sides of the new traffic station:
The new station forecourt Fangschleuse covers an area of approx. 30,000 sqm on the south side of the new traffic station, on which 6 covered bus stops for 18 m articulated buses, three laterally arranged parking positions without exit and entry function for buses with longer downtimes, 500 Park+Ride spaces in the parking deck, on the ground-level parking space and the Kiss & Ride facility as well as 50 Bike+Ride spaces in a collective locking system, a break room for bus drivers, footpaths, lighting, green design, etc. should find space. A service building is still planned, but it will be built by a third party. On the northern part, 150 parking spaces for bicycle traffic are planned, of which about 100 will be offered protected in two collective locking systems. Parallel to the planning of the station forecourt is the traffic station itself, the new L386, the Tesla automobile plant, new cycle paths and a new motorway exit, which are also in the planning phase. The new L386 is to be routed at a high altitude between the new station and the station forecourt (planned implementation periods 2025 to 2026). There is considerable time pressure, and the new traffic station, the new state road and the station forecourt with its two components must be completed by the timetable change in December 2026 (planned closure breaks of Deutsche Bahn AG in 2025 and 2026).
Therefore, neither the work phases three and four can be repeated, nor can the schedule be changed. Construction time and cost control and compliance are essential.
Initially, it is planned to commission the service phases 5-7 HOAI. The other service phases 8-9 HOAI are optionally commissioned. In this respect, the client is granted a unilateral option right to commission. The contractor has no legal claim to the commissioning of LP 8-9.
As part of the implementation of the i2030 project (project for better rail infrastructure in the capital region), the existing Fangschleuse station will be relocated approx. 2 km to the west by 2026. The existing platforms are too short at approx. 100 m and have to be extended to 220 m. This is not feasible at the existing station. The relocation of the station will directly connect the future northern factory gate to the Tesla car plant. On the new station forecourt, south of the station, in the transition area to the automobile plant, the connecting facilities with bus, car and bicycle will be located. In addition, the railway station will be accessible to Grünheide to the north by footpaths and cycle paths.
The aim of the new construction of the station forecourt is to increase the attractiveness of the use of public transport. This is accompanied by the need to build a new station forecourt - adapted to the predicted traffic volumes - with networking possibilities for all types of transport (bus, P+R, B+R). In the context of planning, the functionality of this link is of particular importance. At the same time, a space with a high quality of stay for the users is to be created. The public space to be created also represents the entrance to the automobile factory, which places further design and urban planning requirements on the planning.
In the final expansion stage of the automobile plant, around 22,000 passenger journeys per day to and from the station are assumed.
The area of the station forecourt to be planned is part of the legally binding development plan no. 13 "Freienbrink Nord" 1st amendment as well as in the over-planning by the development plan no. 60 "Service and Logistics Centre Freienbrink", which is currently being drawn up, and is designated as a traffic area with a special purpose.

A service building is planned on the southern forecourt, but this will be built by a third party.
On the part north of the new traffic station, 150 parking spaces for bicycle traffic are planned, of which about 100 will be offered protected in two collective locking systems.
On the overall site plan from the preliminary planning, the area division of the uses of the station forecourt to each other and to the neighboring plans taking place at the same time can be seen.
Parallel to the planning of the station forecourt is the traffic station itself, the new L386, the Tesla automobile plant, new cycle paths and a new motorway exit, which are also in the planning phase. The new L386 is to be routed at a high altitude between the new station and the station forecourt (planned implementation periods 2025 to 2026). A large part of the traffic to and from the automobile plant is routed via this road. Against this background, intensive coordination with the various planning agencies is required. The overarching planning processes are above all the development plan procedure carried out by the municipality of Grünheide (Mark) and the planning approval procedure of Deutsche Bahn AG for its infrastructure facilities. The planning of the north and south components of the station forecourt are integrated into both planning processes; the northern component is part of the planning law procedure of Deutsche Bahn AG, while the other southern components are subject to the B-plan procedure.
The realisation of the planning of the station forecourt as well as the surrounding plans mentioned above are under considerable time pressure in order to optimally design the transport functionality of the location as early as possible. By the timetable change in December 2026, the new traffic station, the new state road and the station forecourt with its two components must be completed.
The construction work is largely dependent on the planned closure breaks of Deutsche Bahn AG in 2025 and 2026.
Therefore, neither the work phases three and four can be repeated, nor can the schedule (see appendix, based on the preliminary planning) be changed. Construction time and cost control and compliance are essential.
Initially, it is planned to commission the service phases 5-7 HOAI. The other service phases 8-9 HOAI are optionally commissioned. In this respect, the client is granted a unilateral option right to commission. The contractor has no legal claim to the commissioning of LP 8-9.
