The station has also a role in the future U9 U-bahn Spange from Giselastrasse over Pinakotheken and Hauptbahnhof to Theresienwiese and to reconnect in Implerstrasse where it will go to Klinikum Grosshadern with U6. So as planning for U9 goes it seems logical to connect it to the station where U3 and U6 split. As for the München Südbahnhof: DB wants to built the station between 2026 - 2029 but despite pleas from München city council it will NOT be an S-bahn station, but a station stop for Regional trains only, but not compatible with S-Bahn trains (weirdly). As the reactivation of the Südumfahrung was originally proposed as alternative for the 2. Stammstrecke, and rejected by the DB, I guess the DB doesn't want to be reminded this stretch of railway can be used by S-trains. So the will use it only for regional train services. A direct access is scheduled to be with Poccistrasse. But options for rebuilding are to remain possible. So typical DB-planning and politics. Absurd.
Indeed, DB at its best🫣. I once read that the U9 will call at Esperantoplatz, so the lines should meet between Goetheplatz and poccistraße, but the later is for Sure too small to become a major interchange station. Will be an interesting Situation to follow for some years to come
