Erfurt or Halle want to host Deutsche Bahn's headquarters - Erfurt and Halle Battle to Become Deutsche Bahn’s Next Headquarters
Erfurt and Halle are competing to host Deutsche Bahn’s new corporate headquarters. The railway company’s current Berlin lease runs out at the end of 2033, prompting both cities to push for relocation. Officials argue that central Germany offers strong transport links and lower costs than the capital.
Halle’s mayor, Alexander Vogt, proposed the move as a chance to bring a major German company to eastern Germany. The city has a large undeveloped site next to its central station, which could house the new offices. Vogt stressed that he and Erfurt’s mayor, Andreas Horn, are working together on the bid.
Deutsche Bahn’s decision will shape the future of its operations after 2033. If successful, the move could bring jobs and investment to central Germany. The final choice will depend on logistics, costs, and the company’s long-term strategy.
