Reich Railway Directorate Munich

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Reichsbahndirektion Munich was a regional administrative authority of the Deutsche Reichsbahn . From 1920 to 1933 the management was part of the Bavarian group administration . The forerunner was the Munich Railway Directorate of the Bavarian State Railways in 1904 , which in turn went back to the first Munich Railway Office established in 1845 .

After the founding of the Deutsche Bundesbahn, the name was changed to the Bundesbahndirektion München . It was dissolved in the course of the railway reform in 1993.

history

The General Administration of the Royal Railways set up the first Munich Railway Office in July 1845 to manage the routes around Munich. On November 14, 1851, the Munich Railway Office was converted into the Munich Upper Post Office and Railway Office . By taking over part of the lines of the Actiengesellschaft der Bavarian Eastern Railways , the network of routes managed grew considerably on April 15, 1875. The management building of the Ostbahnen at Munich Central Station continued to be used by the Railway Authority. In 1876 the General Directorate of the Royal Transport Authority elevated the Railway Office to the Oberbahnamt München . In 1894 the railway offices Munich Ostbahnhof , Munich Südbahnhof and Munich Centralbahnhof as well as the railway administrations in Holzkirchen , Mühldorf , Pasing , Simbach and Starnberg were assigned to this. In 1904 the administrative structure was reorganized for the first time, and the upper railway offices became railway operations departments. On April 1, 1907, the Bavarian State Railways reduced the number of their directorates, while Munich took over the routes from the former Rosenheim Oberbahnamt .

When the Deutsche Reichsbahn was founded, the Munich Railway Directorate was transferred to it on April 1, 1920, and from July 6, 1922 also formally referred to as the Munich Railway Directorate (RBD) . Bavaria had secured a separate intermediate instance in the form of the Bavarian Group Administration in the State Treaty with the Reich , so that the Bavarian Reichsbahndirectors were not directly subordinate to the Berlin headquarters. The territory of the Munich Reichsbahndirektion extended for the most part in the Upper Bavaria district over the Alpine foothills and into the Bavarian Alps .

On October 1, 1933, the Bavarian group administration was dissolved and its tasks were taken over by the Deutsche Reichsbahn. Then the Reichsbahndirektion Munich moved to the group administration building on Arnulfstrasse . The old building of the Reichsbahndirektion was taken over by the newly founded Reichsbahn-Zentralamt in Munich.

The new Reichsbahn Construction Directorate Munich (RBauD Munich) was founded on January 1, 1938 to relieve the Reichsbahndirektion for the National Socialist reconstruction plans of the Munich railway systems . After Austria was annexed, RBD Munich took over the Kufstein – Innsbruck and Innsbruck – Mittenwald railway lines from the disbanded Innsbruck Federal Railway Directorate on March 31, 1938 . With the nationalization of the Lokalbahn Aktien-Gesellschaft (LAG), all LAG routes, including the Isar Valley Railway, were transferred to the Reichsbahndirektion in Munich on August 1, 1938 . On October 1, 1944, the Reichsbahn construction department was dissolved due to the effects of the Second World War ; A building rod remained until the end of the war. The air raids on Munich destroyed large parts of the headquarters on Arnulfstrasse.

On May 22, 1945, the routes taken over by the Innsbruck Federal Railway Directorate in 1938 were returned to the Austrian State Railways. After the establishment of the Deutsche Bundesbahn on September 7, 1949, the previous Reichsbahndirektion received the name of the Munich Federal Railway Directorate on December 18, 1951 .

On May 1, 1971, the Augsburg Federal Railway Directorate was dissolved. The management area was largely assigned to the Munich Federal Railway Directorate.
