  The FLASH II project will add an undulator beamline and a new experimental Hall to the existing FLASH Facility. In addition to improving the radiation properties of the FEL by using seeding, one of the main goals is to double the beamtime of the facility for users. At the moment, we deliver photon pulses in 10 Hz bursts with up to 800 bunches within each RF pulse. In order not to limit parameter ranges, we will have to give those same tuning possibilities within an RF pulse for each of the users independently. For this purpose, several tests have been performed to determine the limits of the difference in beam parameters which can be delivered. We will show to what extend we can switch fast between two beamlines, how we can change photon pulse length by allowing different charges, have different energy in the two beamlines simultaneously to allow for wavelength scans for the fixed-gap undulator presently built in FLASH, while not interfering with user operation of the new beamline.

  The extension of the FLASH facility at DESY (Hamburg, Germany) - FLASH II Project - is under way. The extension includes a second undulator line with variable gap undulators to allow a more flexible operation, and a new experimental hall for photon experiments. The present FLASH linac will drive the both undulator beamlines. Civil construction of the new buildings has been started in autumn 2011 continuing in several steps until early 2013. The design of the new beamline including the extraction from the FLASH linac and the undulator is mostly finished, and the manufacturing of the components is under way. The mounting of the beamline will start in autumn 2012, and the commissioning with beam is scheduled for second half of 2013. We report here the design of the different phases of the project including the time schedule up to the first user operation.
