- Railway Minister Schnieder is expected to announce a new railway manager on Monday.

The German coalition has made a significant personnel decision, as the current CEO of Deutsche Bahn (DB), Richard Lutz, is set to step down from his position early. The Deputy government spokesman, Sebastian Hille, announced this upcoming change on Friday.

While the exact date for the appointment of the new DB CEO has not been specified, Transport Minister Patrick Schneider is expected to reveal the successor during his presentation of the "Agenda for Satisfied Railway Customers" on Monday.

Schneider's rail strategy presentation will likely include the introduction of the new DB CEO, a role that has been the subject of much speculation in recent weeks. However, the identity of the new CEO has not been publicly disclosed yet.

In an earlier statement, Schneider expressed his intention to present the new CEO or CEO of DB at the presentation of his rail strategy. This suggests that the personnel decision for the new DB CEO was made within the coalition government.

Interestingly, Schneider's presentation on Monday is also expected to mark the official announcement of Evelyn Palla as the first female CEO of Deutsche Bahn. Palla, who previously headed regional transport at the company, will take over the reins from Lutz.

As the new CEO, Palla is set to lead Deutsche Bahn at a critical juncture, as the company navigates the challenges posed by the ongoing pandemic and the shift towards more sustainable and efficient transportation solutions. The exact details of her tenure and plans for the future are eagerly awaited by stakeholders and the general public alike.
