TSB Magnetic levitation train test ride
NEUMARKT, Germany — A major opportunity is on the horizon for Bögl and its magnetic levitation train plans: The transport ministers from all German states are heading to Sengenthal.
The members of the German Conference of Transport Ministers are scheduled to visit the test track in Sengenthal this Saturday, April 25, 2026, and take a ride on the magnetic levitation train.
The magnetic levitation train is already recognized in the federal government’s coalition agreement as an "innovative approach to local public transport." It was also a topic of discussion at the Transport Ministers’ Conference in Lindau at the end of March. Officials suggest it could soon become another building block for sustainable and cost-effective mobility in Bavaria and across Germany.
In Nuremberg, the technology from Sengenthal has already been seriously considered. However, a feasibility study found that the magnetic train did not perform significantly better than a conventional tram—contrary to the hopes of officials in Sengenthal, Nuremberg City Hall, and the Bavarian State Chancellery.
This makes the upcoming visit of the transport ministers all the more crucial. Bavaria’s Transport Minister Christian Bernreiter, current chair of the conference, has invited his colleagues to experience the "Transport System Bögl" firsthand.
