DGEG

The German Society for Railway History (DGEG) is one of the most important organizations for the preservation, research, and dissemination of railway history in Germany. Since its founding, the DGEG has been actively committed to the preservation of historic railway vehicles, facilities, and documents, thus making a significant contribution to German technological and transport history. A central focus of the DGEG lies in the museum presentation of railway history. Through its own museums, collections, and exhibitions, the Society makes the development of the railway accessible to a broad audience. Historic locomotives, carriages, and technical exhibits vividly illustrate the importance of the railway for the economy, mobility, and society. Furthermore, the DGEG is actively involved in the preservation of historical monuments and operational historic rail vehicles. In cooperation with volunteers, experts, and partners, valuable witnesses to railway history are restored, maintained, and in some cases, kept in operation. This commitment helps not only to preserve railway history but also to keep it alive. The German Society for Railway History also sees itself as a network for railway enthusiasts, historians, and those interested in the subject. Through publications, events, and professional exchange, the DGEG promotes knowledge about railway history and supports the passing on of this cultural heritage to future generations. Anyone interested in the history of railways in Germany will find a competent and dedicated contact in the DGEG. The society stands for professional expertise, cultural commitment, and the sustainable preservation of an important part of German industrial culture.
