However, legal battles caused significant  delays, so that the German Intercity-Express (ICE) trains were deployed ten years after the TGV network was established.InterCityExpress[edit]The first regularly scheduled ICE trains ran on 2 June 1991 from Hamburg-Altona via Hamburg Hbf \u2013 Hannover Hbf \u2013 Kassel-Wilhelmsh\u00f6he \u2013 Fulda \u2013 Frankfurt Hbf \u2013 Mannheim Hbf and Stuttgart Hbf toward M\u00fcnchen Hbf on the new ICE line 6. The ICE network is more tightly integrated with pre-existing lines and trains as a result of the different settlement structure in Germany,[clarification needed] which has almost twice the population density of France. ICE trains reached destinations in Austria and Switzerland soon after they entered service, taking advantage of the same voltage used in these countries. Starting in 2000, multisystem third-generation ICE trains entered the Netherlands and Belgium. The third generation of the ICE has a service speed of 330\u00a0km\/h (205\u00a0mph) and has reached speeds up to 363\u00a0km\/h (226\u00a0mph).Admission of ICE trains onto French LGVs was applied for in 2001, and trial runs completed in 2005. Since June 2007, ICEs service Paris from Frankfurt and Saarbr\u00fccken via the LGV Est.Unlike the Shinkansen in Japan, Germany has experienced a fatal accident on a high-speed service. In the Eschede train disaster of 1998, a first generation ICE experienced catastrophic wheel failure while travelling at 200\u00a0km\/h (124\u00a0mph) near Eschede, following complaints of excessive vibration. Of 287 passengers aboard, 101 people died and 88 were injured in the resulting derailment, which was made worse by the train colliding with a road bridge and causing it to collapse. The accident was the result of faulty wheel design and, following the crash, all ICE wheels of that design were redesigned and replaced.International operators[edit]Thalys trains began running in Germany in 1997, from the Belgian HSL 3 to Aachen and Cologne using the Cologne\u2013Aachen high-speed railway. TGV POS trains began running in Germany in 2007, to Karlsruhe and Stuttgart using the Mannheim\u2013Stuttgart and Karlsruhe\u2013Basel high-speed lines. Swiss SBB high-speed services using the New Pendolino from Frankfurt to Milan on the Karlsruhe\u2013Basel line started in 2017.[1]Transrapid[edit]Germany has developed the Transrapid, a maglev train system. The Transrapid reaches speeds up to 550\u00a0km\/h (342\u00a0mph). The Emsland test facility, with a total length of 31.5\u00a0km (19.6\u00a0mi), operated in until 2011 when it was closed and in 2012 its demolition was approved.[2] In China, Shanghai Maglev Train, a Transrapid-technology\u2013based maglev built in collaboration with Siemens, Germany, has been operational since March 2004.List of high-speed lines[edit]    Upgraded line[edit]Partially new line[edit]Part of these routes are new constructions that run along or close to the existing, or previous, route:Fully new line[edit]Completely new construction projects:Lines not yet completed[edit]Karlsruhe\u2013Basel high-speed railway (new line, 250\u00a0km\/h, incomplete, sections under construction)Stuttgart\u2013Wendlingen high-speed railway (new line, 250\u00a0km\/h, under construction)Vogelfluglinie (partially new line, partially being upgraded)L\u00fcbeck\u2013Hamburg railway (German part, to be upgraded to reach 200 km\/h)L\u00fcbeck\u2013Puttgarden railway (German part, to be electrified[3] to reach 200 km\/h up from the current 160 km\/h,[4] under construction)Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link (tunnel part, will replace the R\u00f8dby\u2013Puttgarden ferry, 200 km\/h, under construction, completion expected in 2028)[5]Sydbanen (Danish part, new tracks to be laid by 2021, to be electrified to reach 200 km\/h by 2024, under construction)[6]Copenhagen\u2013Ringsted Line (Danish part, opened on 31 May 2019, currently operating at 180 km\/h, upgrading to 250 km\/h in 2023)Lines planned[edit]Frankfurt\u2013Mannheim high-speed railway (new line, 300\u00a0km\/h, in planning)Hanau-Gelnhausen high-speed railway (new line, 300\u00a0km\/h, in planning)Hanover-Bielefeld high-speed railway (new line, 300\u00a0km\/h, in planning)Bielefeld-Hamm high-speed railway (upgraded line, 300\u00a0km\/h, in planning)[7]Nuremberg-W\u00fcrzburg high-speed railway (new line, 300\u00a0km\/h, in planning)Hanover-Hamburg high-speed railway\/Hanover-Bremen high-speed railway (Y-shaped, partially new line, 160 and 300\u00a0km\/h on new sections, 160\u00a0km\/h on a existing section, in planning)Ulm-Augsburg high-speed railway (new line, 250\u00a0km\/h, in planning)[8]Gelnhausen-Fulda high-speed rail  (new line, 250\u00a0km\/h, in planning)Travel times[edit]References[edit]TechnologiesHigh-speed trains350\u00a0km\/h(217\u00a0mph)or more300\u2013349\u00a0km\/h(186\u2013217\u00a0mph)Avelia HorizonRenfe Class 100, 102, 103Alstom AGVChina Railway Hexie CRH2C, 3C, 380A \/ MTR CRH380A, 380B, 380C, 380DEMU-320ETR 500ETR 1000Eurostar e300; e320ICE 3KTX-I, II (Sancheon)OarisShinkansen Series 500, N700, N700S, E5\/H5, E6, E8AVRILTGV Sud-Est (refurbished), Atlantique, R\u00e9seau, Duplex, POS, 2N2, MTCDD HT80000Thalys PBA, PBKATHSR 700TSiemens Velaro250\u2013299\u00a0km\/h(155\u2013186\u00a0mph)Avelia LibertyChina Star, DJF2, China Railway Hexie CRH1A, 1B, 1E, 2A, 2B, 2E, 2G, 3A, 5A, 5E, 5G, China Railway Fuxing CR300AF, CR300BFICE 1, 2, 4 (ICx)KTX-EumNew PendolinoRenfe Class 120, 121, 130SapsanSBB RABe 501, RABe 503Shinkansen Series 200, 300, 700, 800, E2, E3, E7\/W7TCDD HT65000TGV Sud-Est (original), La PosteV250200\u2013249\u00a0km\/h(124\u2013155\u00a0mph)AcelaACS-64AdelanteAPTRenfe Class 101China Railway DJJ1, China Railway Hexie CRH6, China Railway Fuxing CR200JER200HHP-8IC4ICNGInterCity 125, 225ICE T, TDJavelinNSB Class 71 (Flytoget)NSB Class 73NSB Class 74PendolinoRailjetReginaShinkansen series 0, 100, 400, E1, E4SBB RABDe 500, RABDe 502, RABe 502, Re 460SC-44SCB-40X 2000, SJ X40Z-TER (Z 21500)SokolBritish Rail Classes 800, 801, 802, 803, 805, 807, 810Talgo XXIVoyager\/MeridianX3High-speed railway lineBy countries and territoriesplanned networks in italics"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki3\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki3\/high-speed-rail-in-germany-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"High-speed rail in Germany – Wikipedia"}}]}]
