		The Deutsche Reichsbahngesellschaft[?] (DRG) [German Imperial Railway Company] was founded around 1920 by uniting the Staats- and Länderbahnen [State and Territorial Railways] which existed in and were operated by small, formerly sovereign territories and kingdoms like Bavaria, Saxony, and Prussia, among others.
		The DRG's successors were named Deutsche Bundesbahn[?] (DB) [German Federal Railways] in the West, while the East kept the the old name minus the "Gesellschaft" [Society], naming its railways Deutsche Reichsbahn[?] (DR) [German Imperial Railways] (even though the Empire had ceased to exist.)

	Deutsche Bundesbahn at AllExperts
		The Deutsche Bundesbahn or DB (German Federal Railway) was formed as the state railway of the newly established Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) on September 7, 1949 as a successor of the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft.
		With the formation of the FRG these successors units of the DRG were reunited, a situation codified by the Bundesbahn-Law (Bundesbahngesetz) that was ratified on December 13 1951.
		Contrary to the Deutsche Reichsbahn in the GDR, the DB was not subject to reparations, and benefited from the influx of capital through the Marshall Plan.

	The Most Valuable Asset of the Reich: A History of the German National Railway Volume 2, 1933-1945, by Alfred C. ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		In a contribution to an abortive official history of the Reichsbahn during World War II that was planned during the 1950s, Günter Kausche, who served in the Reich Transportation Ministry (Reichsverkehrsministerium, or RVM) during the war, contended that until late in the war, the Nazis had little influence on the Reichsbahn.
		Ernst Spiro, chief of the Reichsbahn Central Office for Purchasing, who was Jewish, was excluded as part of this action.[51] By the board's meeting at the end of November 1933, Kleinmann could report that of the upper officials 21 were retired due to age and 102 were transferred to new jobs.
		In return, the Reichsbahn would place itself unreservedly in the service of the government's policies.[64] At the end of June 1933, Dorpmüller complained about the chaos that was being spread into the railway by the political agitation of the Nazis.

		It was founded in 1920 as the Deutsche Reichseisenbahnen when the Weimar Republic (formally "Deutsches Reich," hence the "Reich" in the name of the railway) took national control of the German railways, which had previously been run by the German states.
		The Deutsche Reichseisenbahnen (literally German Imperial Railways) were established on 1 April 1920 as a union of the existing state railway companies of Prussia, Bavaria, Saxony, Württemburg, Baden, Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Hesse, and Oldenburg.

	Deutsche Reichsbahn Gesellschaft (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The DRG and DRB should be distinguished from the East German Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR), but during its whole existence it was normally referred to simply as the Deutsche Reichsbahn.
		As a result of national-socialist economic reforms (the law of February 10, 1937) the Reichsbahn became a state institution, and Gesellschaft was dropped.
		After the defeat of the Third Reich in 1945, it took four years until 1949 when the German lines of the DRG were divided between the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR, German State Railway, the railways of the German Democratic Republic) and the Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB, German Federal Railways, the railways of the Federal Republic of Germany).

		Thousands of Reichsbahn employees lost their jobs because the regime classified them as 'non-Aryans', but relatively few party representatives became members of the railway's governing board.
		This characterisation of the Reichsbahn is enriched by Mierzejewski's portrayal of its general director, Julius Dorpmuller, as politically ineffectual and lacking in vision.
		The Reichsbahn began to offer high-speed services between selected cities and Berlin by the mid-1930s; yet these were the result of Weimar-era planning by a small group of railway engineers and they were not expanded.

		When the state companies were merged to create the Deutsche Reichsbahn, new locomotives were ordered with specifications that would fit most of the clearances on the merged system-- ie., the lowest common denominator.
		For economic reasons, steam power remained important on East Germany's Deutsche Reichsbahn into the 1970's, in a diverse fleet that included 480 engines from the 74 private railways that were rolled into the Reichsbahn after 1945.
		In West Germany, the importance of steam power declined rapidly on the Deutsche Bundesbahn, but in the backwater created by the sudden appearance of an international border, electrification projects were kept at a distance, and Helmstedt seemed to have as many steam engines as people.
