Bundesbahn

Bundesbahn refers to the federal railway system in Germany, responsible for operating and managing train services across the country. Established in the post-World War II era, it served as the backbone of Germany’s national transportation, providing passenger and freight services. The term historically applied to the state-owned railway corporation before it was privatized and restructured into Deutsche Bahn. Essentially, Bundesbahn was the national railway operator that facilitated efficient, nationwide rail travel and freight movement, playing a key role in Germany’s economic development and connectivity.
