Berlin (dpa-AfX)-Transport Minister Patrick Schnieder (CDU) apparently also plans to change at the top of the rail infrastructure division DB Infrago: Dirk Rompf should take over the post from the previous boss Philipp Nagl, as the German press agency from government circles learned. Rompf has been the managing director of the IFOK strategy consultancy since 2021. Before that, he was the board of DB Netz AG for years, the predecessor of DB Infrago.
The Supervisory Board of the Infrago still has to decide on the personnel. However, according to a report by the “Tagesspiegel”, there is considerable resistance on the committee on the employee side. Nagl is considered a proven railway specialist. Under his leadership, the years of decay on the rail network was stopped. It is one of the heads behind the so -called general renovation concept, the comprehensive renovation of more than 40 busy railway lines.
Rompf was a network boss under the then group board member Ronald Pofalla. During this time, the infrastructure was increasingly felled because too little money was invested in receipt.
At the weekend it became known that the previous railway regional officer Evelyn Palla will be new railway chief ./maa/dp/jha
