Fehmarn Sound Tunnel
The Fehmarn Sound Tunnel between the German mainland and the island of Fehmarn is projected to be built by 2028, and is projected to cost €718 million. The tunnel will be near Großenbrode. Background The treaty of 2008 between Germany and Denmark provides that the hinterland connection to the Fehmarnbelt link is to be expanded on the German side, but the Fehmarnsund Crossing connection should remain two-lane road and single-track railway. The bridge was considered to be able to handle the increase of traffic. It was later decided that the increase of traffic can't be handled by the existing Fehmarn Sound Bridge, especially the rail traffic. (in German) Retrieved 11 June ...

Bundesautobahn 1
is an autobahn in Germany. It runs from Heiligenhafen in Schleswig-Holstein to Saarbrücken, a distance of , but is incomplete between Cologne and Trier. B 207 continues north from Heiligenhafen to Puttgarden, at the end of the island of Fehmarn, with a ferry to Rødby, Denmark. The part north of Hamburg is part of the ''Vogelfluglinie'' (''Migratory Birds Line'') and may be one day connected via a fixed link to Denmark (see below). The term ''Hansalinie'' ('' Hansa line'') refers to the part from Lübeck (north of Hamburg, thus overlapping the ''Vogelfluglinie'') south to the Ruhr Area (near Dortmund). Overview Schleswig-Holstein In Schleswig-Holstein, the initial section of the A1 (which belongs to the so-called Vogelfluglinie) begins at the junction Heiligenhafen East as a four-lane extension of the B 207 coming from the ferry port Puttgarden on the island of Fehmarn. On the peninsula Wagrien the A 1 briefly runs west, then south, past the East Holstein cities of Ol ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lübeck–Puttgarden Railway
The Lübeck–Puttgarden railway is part of the international Vogelfluglinie (Bird Flight Line) between Germany and Denmark and connects Lübeck with Puttgarden on the Baltic Sea island of Fehmarn in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. The line is now closed north of Neustadt for the construction of the Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link. Route The tracks of the Kiel–Lübeck railway are used from Lübeck to Bad Schwartau.

Großenbrode
Großenbrode is a municipality in the district of Ostholstein, in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. It is situated on the Baltic Sea coast, opposite Fehmarn, approx. 8 km (5 mi) east of Heiligenhafen. Until 1963 it had a ferry connection to Gedser in Denmark. After World War II there was no ferry connection from West Germany to Denmark - the ferry port Warnemünde (near Rostock) now being in the communist east. Großenbrode was chosen as the site for a temporary ferry connection for the 3 hour crossing to Gedser. After the Fehmarnsund bridge was built in 1963, the ferryport moved to Puttgarden on Fehmarn. Großenbrode is planned to be the site of a portal of the Fehmarn Sound Tunnel by 2028.

Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link
The Fehmarn Belt fixed link ( da, Femern Bælt-forbindelsen, german: Fehmarnbelt-Querung) or Fehmarn Belt tunnel is an under-construction immersed tunnel, which will connect the Danish island of Lolland with the German island of Fehmarn, crossing the Fehmarn Belt in the Baltic Sea. It will provide a direct link between northern Germany and Lolland, and from there to the Danish island of Zealand and Copenhagen, becoming the ''world's longest road and rail tunnel.'' The tunnel will be a major connection between central Europe and Scandinavia. It will shorten the travel time between Lolland and Fehmarn from 45 minutes by ferry (excluding waiting and boarding time) to 10 minutes by car and seven minutes by train. The electrified high-speed rail line will be capable of reaching . The project had a first financial volume of €5.5 billion, €7.4 billion when the State Treaty of Denmark and Germany was adopted in 2010, and recently approximately €10 billion (2022). The tunnel ...

Buildings And Structures In Schleswig-Holstein
A building, or edifice, is an enclosed structure with a roof and walls standing more or less permanently in one place, such as a house or factory (although there's also portable buildings). Buildings come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and functions, and have been adapted throughout history for a wide number of factors, from building materials available, to weather conditions, land prices, ground conditions, specific uses, monument, prestige, and aesthetic reasons. To better understand the term ''building'' compare the list of nonbuilding structures. Buildings serve several societal needs – primarily as shelter from weather, security, living space, privacy, to store belongings, and to comfortably live and work. A building as a shelter represents a physical division of the :Human habitats, human habitat (a place of comfort and safety) and the ''outside'' (a place that at times may be harsh and harmful).
