  FLASH at DESY, Hamburg is a soft X-ray free-electron laser user facility. After a 3.5 months shutdown in autumn 2011 required for civil construction for a second undulator beamline, beam operation started as scheduled in January 2012. FLASH shows again an improvement in performance with even higher single and average photon pulse energies, better stability, and significant improvements in operation procedures. The 4th user period started end of March 2012. A 4 months shutdown is scheduled early 2013 to connect the second undulator beamline to the FLASH accelerator.

  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.
