Gäubahn action day: Together against the decoupling from 2026!

Gäubahn action day: Together against the decoupling from 2026!

In 2026, Deutsche Bahn (DB) plans to drastically reduce the Gäubahn capacities according to Stuttgart, which affects numerous commuters and train drivers. With this project, the affected communities ensure excitement and protest. On Friday, October 11th, there will therefore be a day of action, organized by Pro Gäubahn together with local political associations.

The action day at the Oberndorf and Horb train stations should indicate the negative effects of capping the rail connection, which proves to be a major challenge, especially for commuters. From 3:40 p.m. to 4:10 p.m., interested citizens can collect information at the Oberndorf train station and express their opinions. A guest speaker, Jürgen Resch from German Environmental Aid, will present his perspective on the current problem.

changes and their causes

The planned measure to interrupt the rail connection from April 2026 for impermiability during the construction of Stuttgart 21 project is heavily criticized by many local politicians. So Sonja Rajsp-Lauer, co-spokeswoman of the Rottweil district association of Bündnis 90/The Greens, explained that constant changes in commuters are not only tedious, but can also cost time that many working people cannot apply. "We want to move to the main train station without a change," she said just as.

Michael Leibrecht, also from the Pro Gäubahn-State Alliance, expressed his concerns and described the cap as unnecessary, which is why it is rejected with determination. "This deterioration is neither necessary for the construction progress of Stuttgart 21, nor is it legally permitted," emphasized Leibrecht. He explains that the community must use its influence to protect the rail connection.

public interest and support

On the day of the campaign, information stands are set up in several cities such as Constance and Tuttlingen. These initiatives aim to educate a broader public about the planned changes and to underline the importance of a comfortable connection to the Stuttgart Central Station. Mirko Witkowski, Chairman of the SPD district association Rottweil, emphasizes that public local and long-distance transport should be designed in such a way that it actually enjoys.

In addition, Jürgen Resch will appear at the different stands and offer citizens the opportunity to express their concerns and wishes. His visits to Oberndorf and Horb are scheduled for the afternoon hours to enable direct interaction.

The protest movement is convinced that the planned changes have negative effects on the entire region and it is necessary to mobilize travelers in order to defend their interests as a community. In times when mobility and sustainability are important topics, the rail connection should offer a solidarity and efficient system that meets people's needs.

A deep understanding of the reasons behind the Gäubahn capping finally led to the formation of a strong community that is committed to their concerns. The success or failure of these protests can also play a directional role in the future mobility policy of the region that is affected by this significant change.
