history
It was founded on January 18, 1898 in Frankfurt am Main by several banks and owned considerable shares in railway companies. She was the operator for several railways, which among others belonged to the German Railway Company (DEAG) . Particularly noteworthy are the acquisition of 95% of the shares in the Württembergische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (WEG) in 1909 and the merger with the Continentalen Eisenbahn-Bau- und Betriebs-Gesellschaft (CEB) in 1914.
