Berlin to build a maglev to Tegel

At the moment the Land administration of Berlin is CDU (Christian Democrat) - SPD (Social Democrat), and both the mayor and the Senator for Transport are pro-car, anti-tram Christian Democrats.

That means any idea to avoid building tram lines, and anything that can be built without looking like they are remotely anti car drivers, is considered.

Including connecting the new urban development area at the former Tegel Airport with a maglev train, rather than with a tram line. It's being pushed strongly by Bögl, the company that builds these urban maglev systems.

Is it a good idea? No, a tram makes more sense.
Will it happen? Also likely no, because there's an election in Berlin in September 2026, and that might well be the end of the current coalition.
