Title:	Technical and logistical challenges of the construction of the Museumsinsel Station in Berlin / Technische und logistische Herausforderungen beim Bau des Bahnhofs Museumsinsel in Berlin
Abstract:	The closing of the gap in line U5 of the Berlin underground completes the missing connection between the Alexanderplatz and Brandenburger Tor stations. The existing line U5 currently ends at the Alexanderplatz. With the closure of the gap, the existing tunnels at the Berliner Roten Rathaus will be connected to the Brandenburger Tor station on the line U55. The project includes the construction of three new underground stations and two single-track tunnels connecting them, which are being tunnelling by shield machines. The new alignment thus passes deep under the city, under the River Spree, the new Berliner Schloss and the Spreekanal as well as running along beneath the street Unter den Linden to the Brandenburger Tor. The construction activities are taking place right in the centre of Berlin and the particular local conditions are a logistical and technical challenge. Der Lückenschluss der U-Bahnlinie U5 stellt die fehlende Verbindung zwischen den Haltestellen Alexanderplatz und Brandenburger Tor her. Die bestehende Linie U5 endet derzeit am Alexanderplatz. Mit dem Lückenschluss werden die bestehenden Tunnelanlagen am Berliner Roten Rathaus mit der U-Bahnstation Brandenburger Tor der Linie U55 verbunden. Das Projekt umfasst den Neubau von drei U-Bahnstationen und zwei sie verbindende eingleisige Tunnel, die im Schildvortrieb hergestellt werden. Dabei unterfährt die neue Trasse innerstädtisch in Tieflage die Spree, das Neue Berliner Schloss und den Spreekanal sowie in Längsrichtung die Straße Unter den Linden bis zum Brandenburger Tor. Die Bautätigkeiten finden im Herzen Berlins statt und stellen aufgrund der zentralen Lage und der besonderen Randbedingungen eine logistische und technische Herausforderung dar.
