The planners calculated the costs for the extension of the U6 last March at 172 million, now they have reached 212 million.

Planegg

– It was almost a small anniversary: ​​Dimitri Steinke started at the end of November 2017 as Managing Director of U-Bahn Martinsried Projektmanagement GmbH & Co. KG (PMG), which is the client on behalf of the Planegg municipality to extend the U-Bahn line 6 to Martinsried .

Five years later, on Monday evening, he visited the works committee of the municipal council again to report on the status of the project.

It was only in September that the news circulated that the U6 route was free of protected animal species.

Subway project in the Munich area: the federal and state governments take on 95 percent

In the past five years, Steinke had always been cautious about the question of costs.

Now that the planning is well advanced and everything is being prepared for the groundbreaking in early February, he said: “We did Kassensturz.

The costs are calculated down to earth.

We can work with them.” So far there have been estimates, but now you can approach the sponsors with specific figures.

The federal government and the Free State of Bavaria bear 95 percent of the eligible costs, the district of Munich 3.67 percent and the municipality of Planegg 1.33 percent.

The construction costs for the almost one kilometer long tunnel and the Martinsried underground station are 187 million euros, the planning costs 25 million.

According to Steinke, the basic rule is that one kilometer of subway costs 200 million to build.

"We survived Corona, are in the middle of political upheaval and are still below the 200 million mark," said Steinke.

An “adequate rate of inflation” is used for the calculations.

U6 to Martinsired: Planning had to be updated

When the municipality of Planegg signed the project management contract with PMG in March 2018, the most recent cost estimate was six years old and amounted to 73.5 million euros.

However, the planning, which was several years old, had to be brought up to date first.

There are now stricter requirements, especially in the area of ​​fire protection, which make it absolutely necessary to widen the tunnel structure.

Steinke: “The costs follow the technology.

There are worlds between what was included in the original planning approval and today.”

He pointed out that, contrary to interim fears, the costs for the disposal of contaminated sites do not have to be separated after all.

"The community saves around 1 million euros there." Planegger's share of the subway plus the already completed parking deck is around 10.1 million euros: 6.7 million for the subway, 0.8 million for the parking deck and 2.6 million for other things like the community's participation in the PMG or interest.

Extension of the U6 from Großhadern: Completion in 2027

PMG expects the subway to be completed and operational in 2027.

The construction company Leonard Weiß commissioned with the shell construction confirmed this.

The main construction work will start at the beginning of next year.

The interim storage area north, around 60,000 square meters, must be completed by then.

The citizen as a troublemaker

There, between the Biomedical Center of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU) and the Würmtalstraße, the contaminated excavation, which comes from a filled gravel pit that crosses the subway line at 500 meters, should remain until it is disposed of.

Steinke: “That is the bottleneck of the construction site.

If the interim storage area north doesn't work, the whole construction site won't work."
