Illustrated books on the history and the rolling stock of the Bundesbahn and other railway companies in Germany since 1945.
Abschied von der Schiene - 2006-2016
The withdrawal of the railway from rural areas continues in Germany. However, this is not solely the fault of Deutsche Bahn AG, but also of the respective state governments, which have cancelled passenger services on many routes.
Wolfgang Fiegenbaum provides an overview of the routes in Germany on which passenger traffic was discontinued for the years 2007 to 2017, organized by federal state, with each railway line being honored with a historical overview. The selected images show the last operating status of each line and are reminiscent of a piece of railway history.
The second volume of the "Bundesbahn Photo Album" is about Helmut Bittner's photographs from 1968-1970. The focus is on the end of steam traction on the "Rollbahn" Hamburg - Osnabrück and on the Marschbahn, on the routes in northeast Bavaria, Hesse, northern Baden/Lower Franconia, on the Moselle, as well as photo tours to Altenbeken and on the Hamm - Hanover - Helmstedt main line.
