The railway infrastructure is owned by the Deutsche Bahn Netz AG. The exclusive shareholder of this corporation is the Federal Republic of Germany. A substantial part of investments in the infrastructure is conservatively financed.
The Federal Government continues to be responsible for the funding investment (new construction, upgrading and renewal). The railway infrastructure companies have to bear the cost of the day to day maintenance of the rail network. Therefore each railway undertaking has to pay a charge for using the network in Germany. New constuction and
upgrading of railway lines is financed by the Federal Government by non-repayable grants on the basis of special agreements. Relating to the investment for renewal the federal government established a system of output control (compliance with an agreed level of network quality) on the basis of a "Service Level and Funding Agreement" (LuFV/ Multi annual contract) with the infrastructure companies of DB AG. For a duration of five years the federal government pays on this basis an amount of 2.5 bln € each year and the infrastructure company makes a certain contribution towards maintenance. So the priority of investment lays on the existing network (no structural decay).
No fundamental changes to the funding schemes were decided in consequence of the economic crisis. A special additional program (economic stimulus-Package I and II) ameliorated the funding for infrastructure projects f.i. upgrading of railstations, construction of additional parking places for lorries along the motorways, noise protection and the acceleration of the construction of infrastructure. The current time of these programs was from 2009 until 2011. For the period from 2012 until 2013 (partly until 2017) a new program (Infrastrukturbeschleunigungsprogramm) was introduced by 1 January 2012. The projects to be realized under that program receive in total an additional 1 billion euros, 600 millions for roads (400 of that for projects under construction, 127 millions for maintainance, 60 millions for new roads, 13 millions for cycle lines along federal roads), 100 millions for rail (dedicated to the amelioration of trainstations), 300 millions for the federal waterways (exclusively dedicated to the building of the 5th new lock chamber in Brunsbüttel on the Kiel Canal).
