The construction of the Elbtower, which was stopped in a context with the bankruptcy of the real estate entrepreneur René Benko at a good 100 meters, apparently has serious consequences on the rail facilities in the area. In any case, without “compensation measures” on the rail systems and a corresponding acceptance from Deutsche Bahn AG, it does not go any further. This was “indicated in the meantime overruns of border and alarm values”, according to a letter that the city of Hamburg was aiming at the insolvency administrator Torsten Martini in March, which had submitted an application for further construction. At the request of the FAZ, Martini refused to comment on the consequences of setting, which the NDR program had first reported. According to this, the alarm value for the so -called cantung is said to have been reached in December 2024 at the ELBTOWER at the Elbtower, and the intervention value had been exceeded for overburdening. Therefore, a crisis staff was called. Heike Sudmann, spokeswoman for the left-wing faction, therefore recognizes action: “An exceeding of these values shows that there are problems.” In a small request to the Senate, she reminds that the Deutsche Bahn had objected to a building permit for the Elbtower in autumn 2021. The stability of the railway systems and a trouble -free operation are at risk, warned the railway and demanded a accident concept. Border and alarm values were only defined on the basis of the objection. “Has been known since the beginning of the planning” Serenity, on the other hand, demonstrates the Hamburg real estate entrepreneur Dieter Becken, who is looking for investors to complete the Elbtower. “There is no damage to the Elbtower building,” he writes on request. However, the consequences of setting have been foreseeable: “It has been known to the Deutsche Bahn and the client of the Elbtower since the beginning of the planning that the building is sensitive to setting.” Corresponding compensations last took place in April 2024. A warehouse was apparently exchanged on a railway bridge. What is necessary in other measures is currently being investigated. The railway had contractually assured that the owner of the ElBTOWER had to pay the costs for the elimination of possible damage. After drawing, the Reissleine has already taken the decline of the Benko empire, possible investors are taken into account in the future-which should further deter potential donors. Logistics billionaire Klaus-Michael Kühne recently withdrawn from the project: “Perhaps the insolvency administrator will still find someone who has the necessary courage. I don’t have this courage,” said the entrepreneur, the honorary citizen of the city of Hamburg. Kühne belonged to the group of those potential investors around Dieter Becken, who was most recently in exclusive negotiations with the insolvency administrator. A corresponding deadline had been extended by the end of April. In December, he presented the public to the arrival of the already planned natural history museum as a new solution, which would make the completion of the high -rise on the edge of the HafenCity possible. However, the political discussion about it has not been completed – and it is now influenced by the news about the current setting consequences. Accordingly, there are doubts as to whether the statics of the Elbtower are suitable for the technical systems of the scientific laboratory. With the mere exhibition of the museum, however, no economically sufficient space would be occupied.
