Overview

• From Friday, August 29 at 22:30 to Monday, September 1 at 04:40, only the S8 runs through the Stammstrecke under central Munich.
• Deutsche Bahn attributes the restriction to installing overhead wiring for a new diversion route alongside ongoing works for the second Stammstrecke in Laim.
• Most S‑Bahn lines are truncated or rerouted: the S1 runs nonstop between Moosach and Hauptbahnhof, the S7 reaches Hauptbahnhof without using the trunk, and the S2, S3, S4, S5, and S6 operate on shortened sections.
• Passengers are advised to use regional trains from Pasing or the U‑Bahn from Ostbahnhof and to check the DB and MVV apps for current connections.
• The closure could affect Superbloom festival visitors, and similar weekend blocks have become routine as Munich’s network undergoes multi‑year modernization toward relief expected once the second tunnel opens around 2037.
