'the price tag of the new Berlin Hbf was in the €3 billion range or something like that; but it included other ancillary construction on the railroad not at the site.'

Presumably you mean the north-south tunnel across central Berlin that brings trains into the low-level platforms at Berlin Hbf. But the, the way it reads is that the Stuttgart sum also includes such a tunnell, since the Hbf there is being converted from a terminus into a through station, so perhaps that 4 billion euro includes 'ancillary construction' too.

The oppositon to the Stuttgart work seems to centre on two things: the expenditure of so much money during a time of economic difficulty; and the destruction of a historic station building.
