Deutsche Bahn is moving ahead with the construction of Stuttgart's new through station. The unique architecture of the future platform hall, the heart of Stuttgart 21, has long since begun to take shape! 27 of the 28 chalice-support-columns have been concreted and already form a space that will leave everyone in awe. Here and there are still gaps in the roof - where space had to be left for the construction cranes. The first ones have done their job and now they are being dismantled bit by bit. And 40 to 60 meter high construction cranes are best dismantled with an even higher mobile crane, you can see the spectacular pictures of one of these dismantlements in this film. #stuttgart21 #deutschebahn #construction ▬ More information ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Deutsche Bahn's comprehensive information platform about the Stuttgart-Ulm rail project: http://www.bahnprojekt-stuttgart-ulm.de/ ▬ What is the rail project ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ The Stuttgart-Ulm rail project comprises the reorganization of the Stuttgart rail junction (Stuttgart 21) and the new Wendlingen-Ulm line.
