In recent years, major Deutsche Bahn projects have repeatedly been the subject of controversial discussions, be it Alpha-E, the Stuttgart-Ulm rail project, or the German Unification projects.

But are high-speed lines really necessary, or should the scarce money for infrastructure be invested differently instead? We will discuss this together with graduates of our faculty. Come to our discussion evening on 04.05. at 18:30 in POT 13, drinks will be provided.

Would like spending a sociable evening full of games? Join us on Wednesday, 12.04.2023, at 7:00 pm in room POT/13 for a game night!
Do not hesitate bringing your own favourite games to the game night. Snacks will be provided. We are looking forward to welcoming you!

The well-known OPAL course overview for all degree programmes of the faculty is now published on our website and refers to all OPAL courses of the respective compulsory courses. Click here to go directly to the degree programmes

• Diploma Transport Engineering
• Bachelor Transport Engineering
• Master’s degree programmes TEC, BSI, EVS and LuLo

If you find any other OPAL courses or would like to have a particular course added, please let us know by email.

We wish you a good start into the new semester!

The Deanery has now uploaded a first version of the timetables on their website, which you can find here:

We would have liked to make the schedules available to you earlier, but we have to wait for the faculty to publish the schedules and correct any errors they contain. Unfortunately, the schedules that have now been published still contain some discrepancies (e.g. exercise dates that lie parallel to compulsory lectures), so there may still be some changes. As soon as the discrepancies have been clarified and we have updated timetables available, we will also make them available on our website as usual.

Likewise, the Opal course overview follows here as soon as as as many related courses as possible have been created in Opal.

The time has come: our Potthoff-Bau is finally to be freshened up and redesigned on the inside.

We students will have a voice in deciding exactly what the POT will look like and how it will be designed in the future. To do this, a working group with employees, professors and students is being set up to work out the exact details in cooperation with the Dean’s Office and Prof. Henning Haupt (Professor of Design at the Faculty of Architecture).

A first kick-off meeting will take place on 30 March at 14:00 (2 p.m.).
The meetings will be held in German only!

If you are interested in joining the working group, you can sign up for the following OPAL course. At the next FSR meeting on 20 March, we will then send three people who can participate as permanent members. This time, however, the working group is not as formal as many of our other committees: you can sign up at any time and then resign after a few meetings if you think someone else could fill the position better. Even if you are only interested in the working group without being a permanent member, this is possible and you can always get in touch with us about it.

We look forward to your active participation!

Next week, on Tuesday, March 14 and on Wednesday, March 15, there will be trial lectures for filling the professorship “Railway Operations” (successor to Prof. König). All students of our faculty are cordially invited to listen to the lectures of the new lecturer applicants and to form their own opinion.

The lectures will take place in room POT/151 and will also be hybrid broadcast.

All info, the exact times, applicants and the links to the video conferences can be found here:
