For obtaining ultra short electron bunches at the Free Electron Laser at DESY (FLASH) the beam is compressed in magnetic chicanes. During the compression process the precise knowledge of the energy of the bunches is essential for the longitudinal dynamics control. The measurement of the beam position in the chicane allows for non-destructive measurements of the energy. For that purpose, two stripline pick-ups perpendicular to the beam direction are installed in the chicane at FLASH as a part of the Beam Position Monitor. The recent upgrade in the electronics as well as the increased aperture and length of the beam pipe (for the European XFEL) requires the design of new pick-ups which will fulfill the new demands. Namely, the pick-ups should have maximum signal at 3 GHz with minimum reflections. In this talk, we will present the design of planar transmission line pick-ups for FLASH and XFEL. The planar design of the pick-ups can provide for a proper impedance matching to the subsequent electronics as well as sufficient mechanical stability along the aperture when using alumina substrate. A prototype of the pick-ups was build and installed in a non-hermetic body. The measured S parameters are compared to the simulation.
