At present the facility is driven from the ELBE linac with a CW electron beam of 100 kHz repetition rate and up to 100 pC of bunch charge. With the upgraded SRF electron gun bunch charges up to 1 nC will become available. For the beam energies in the 20-30 MeV range buch compression into the sub-200 fs range becomes a major challenge. We present beam dynamics calculation of the attempted bunch compression scheme as well as first measurements obtained during the commissioning.
