Freight Village Frankfurt (Oder)

Located in the German capital city region of Berlin-Brandenburg and at the centre of the growth markets of Central and Eastern Europe, more than 1.5 billion Euros have been invested over the past few years in the region surrounding Frankfurt (Oder) and Eisenhüttenstadt, thus creating more than 5000 new jobs.
The prerequisite for the successful establishment of companies in the production sector was the development of the local infrastructure. This also included the construction of a freight village in Frankfurt (Oder). In the scope of constructing the Frankfurt (Oder) Freight Village, the City established the Intermodal Terminal, which went into operation on 6 April 2005, on the site of the former marshalling yard.

The expansion of the rail transport centre serves the following purposes:

strengthening the Frankfurt (Oder)/Eisenhüttenstadt regional growth centre, in particular in the industrial
     expertise field, 'logistics'
creation of new jobs
ensuring efficient logistics for regional producers and logistics firms
efficient procurement and distribution for optimisation of the transport chain of international companies
Green Logistics:
      decreasing lorry traffic in long-distance transport by shifting from road freight transport to rail transport
      decreasing CO2 emission during transport
