history

Line of the Freiberg Railway

The Freiberg railway company was founded on June 7, 2000. Since November 25, 2000 it has been traveling on the 31 km long “ Freiberg Mulde Valley Railway ” (part of the Nossen – Moldava v Krušných horách railway ) in the Freiberg Mulde valley on behalf of the Central Saxony Transport Association . The route runs from Freiberg (Sachs) station on the Dresden – Werdau railway line to Holzhau in the Eastern Ore Mountains .

The FEG trains essentially run every hour on weekdays, and usually every two hours on weekends and public holidays, as well as during school holidays. Until the winter of 2006/07, the City-Bahn Chemnitz and the Freiberg Railway offered winter sports trains from Chemnitz to Holzhau. The trains were no longer offered in the winter of 2007/08 due to a lack of demand.

The contract, which expired in December 2019, was extended to 2024 by direct award. A continuous hourly service is to be offered by closing the previous gaps .

Freiberger Eisenbahngesellschaft mbH is a member of the tariff association of federal and non-federal railways in Germany .
