DB InfraGO rebuilds Gerwisch signal box after fire

A fire on 23 September 2025 irreparably destroyed the control and safety technology of the Gerwisch signal box, and DB InfraGO is replacing it with a new electronic interlocking to restore full capacity on the Magdeburg–Berlin line. Demolition began on 7 January 2026, foundation work followed in May and the modular building was set in place on 23 June 2026; closures with replacement buses between Biederitz and Möser remain in force until 30 September 2026. As a stopgap, up to three trains per hour and direction have run since November 2025, and the neighbouring Biederitz and Möser interlockings have been linked since March 2026. The date is a placeholder: only the fourth quarter of 2026 is given (LOK Report, 23 Jun 2026). Update (1 October 2026): the new electronic interlocking at Gerwisch went into service on schedule on 30 September 2026; rebuilding after the fire of September 2025 took twelve months (Deutsche Bahn, 1 October 2026).
