Deutsche Bahn AG (''German Railway Corporation''; abbreviated ''DBAG'' or simply ''DB'') is Germany 's main Railway operator, providing passenger and goods services over federally owned Track s. The successor of the Deutsche Bundesbahn of West Germany and the Deutsche Reichsbahn of the former East Germany , it has operated since January 1 1994 . DBAG refers to itself as ''"Die Bahn"'' (catched in German as ''"the train"'' as a synonym for ''"the railway"'') on all public advertising.


CORPORATE STRUCTURE

DBAG is fully owned by the Federal Government, but is autonomous and expected to operate as a for-profit business. It is hoped that the privatisation and opening of German tracks to other railway companies will promote competition and efficiency, and eventually lead to higher standards and lower costs.

DBAG has been subdivided into various semi-independent divisions:

  • DB Netz: manages the railway network

  • DB Station+Service: manages Station buildings, ticket sales and general service

  • DB Fernverkehr (previously DB Reise&Touristik): operates long-distance trains, restaurant cars and food service inside stations

  • DB Regio : operates short and medium distance trains as well as commuter services

  • DB ZugBus: provides bus services and owns many smaller bus companies

  • Railion (previously DB Cargo)

  • BRG (Bahnreinigungsgesellschaft): provides cleaning services

  • BSG (Bahnschutzgesellschaft): employs safety patrol personnel for railway stations and trains, mostly at night

  • DB Immobilien: manages all real estate

  • DB Fuhrpark: owns all corporate cars
