  PETRA III, the new third generation light source at DESY, has been running as a user facility since middle of 2010. All 14 undulator beam lines have been commissioned and up to 12 of them are currently in operation. However, already during the planning phase of PETRA III it turned out that the number of beamlines will not be sufficient to fulfill the request for beam time. The pressure to add more beamlines to PETRA III even increased after the decision to shut down DORIS III at the end of 2012. To increase the number of experimental stations two additional halls will be built each housing 5 additional beam lines and about 100 m of the accelerator close to each of the new buildings will be completely remodeled to install additional undulators. The upgrade has been formally approved and at present should be accomplished during a 6 month shut down in 2013. In this paper the layout of the upgraded accelerator will be shown. The impact of the upgrade on machine performance has been studied both theoretically and experimentally and the results of these studies will be presented.
