The nine-euro ticket is controversial, the unpunctuality is worrying – the serious train accident in Burgrain with five dead was a shock. How does CEO Richard Lutz see the situation at Deutsche Bahn? Follow the live stream from the SZ Sustainability Summit.
Nine-euro ticket, punctuality problems, the serious train accident with five dead in Burgrain. The railway is the center of attention again. Her boss, Richard Lutz, has been at the helm since 2017. In March he got a contract extension until 2027. How does he get along with the new Transport Minister Volker Wissing (FDP), who recently declared the railway a top priority – and how sustainable is the railway at all? Richard Lutz answers questions at the SZ sustainability summit.
Lutz was born in 1964 in Landstuhl, Rhineland-Palatinate, into a family of railway workers. He has been with Deutsche Bahn AG since it was founded in 1994.
