The General Magnetic Levitation Railway Act (AMbG) , the Magnetic Levitation Railway Planning Act (MBPlG) and the associated Magnetic Levitation Railway Construction and Operating Regulations (MbBO) were created by law as the basis for public magnetic levitation trains to be built in Germany .
Although maglev trains are not legally a railways , supervision has been legally transferred to the Federal Railway Authority (EBA).
The Transrapid test facility located in Emsland is not subject to these regulations, but to the law created for this purpose on the construction and operation of test facilities for testing technologies for track-guided traffic (SpurVerkErprG). The supervisory authority for this is the Lower Saxony State Authority for Road Construction and Transport .
