 The running speed through the station was raised from 30 to 160 km/h; an increase to 197 km/h, which was also considered, would have required the control of active tilting technology by the train safety system, LZB, but this was not put into practice.A total of seven million euros was invested.The opening of the rebuilt station took place on 24 August 2004 in the presence of the German chancellor, Gerhard Schröder.
