Project:
ABS Berlin – Cottbus (– Görlitz)

The route Berlin – Cottbus is part of the transregional transport axis Berlin – Görlitz, as a connection between the capital city and the regional centre of Cottbus.

As part of the network of services, with the route standard M160, it is a secured part of the network infrastructure of DB Netz AG.

The route is primarily served by local rail passenger transport.

The maximum speed on the route is 120 km/h.

The aim of expanding the route Berlin – Cottbus is to increase the speed of the route to 160 km/h, in order to achieve the requirements for a reduction in the travel time on passenger transport between Berlin – Cottbus to approx. 60 minutes, and the introduction of a route maximum speed of 120km/h on goods transport.

The measures were accepted into the Plan for Federal Traffic Routes in 2003, as a new project with a priority need.
