history

On December 10, 1962, the Südwestdeutsche Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft mbH (SWEG) was founded in Ettlingen by the state of Baden-Württemberg as a rescue company for the southern German lines of the private Deutsche Eisenbahn-Betriebsgesellschaft (DEBG) that are threatened with closure .
After DEBG sold its ten railways, which were still in operation in Baden-Württemberg, to the new company, it began full business operations on May 1, 1963 with the following railways:
- Achertalbahn
- Bruchsal - Ubstadt - Odenheim (- Hilsbach) and Bruchsal - Ubstadt - Menzingen
- Harmersbachtalbahn
- Jagst Valley Railway
- Kandertal Railway
- Münstertalbahn
- Neckarbischofsheim North - Hüffenhardt
- Oberschefflenz - cheap home
- Orschweier - Ettenheim Minster
- Wiesloch - Meckesheim / - Waldangelloch
On October 1, 1971, the state of Baden-Württemberg merged the Mittelbadische Eisenbahnen (MEG), which it also owned, with the SWEG and converted them into the Südwestdeutsche Eisenbahnen Aktiengesellschaft with headquarters in Lahr / Black Forest . This brought the following MEG routes and bus routes to SWEG:
- Schwarzach operation (re-gauging of the former MEG narrow-gauge line Bühl - Schwarzach - Stollhofen , branching to Söllingen and Greffern )
- Kaiserstuhlbahn
- Bregtalbahn
- Muellheim-Badenweiler transport company
Since the bus company had meanwhile acquired a larger share of the overall operation, the company was changed to Südwestdeutsche Verkehrs-AG in 1984 , with the previous abbreviation "SWEG" being retained.
Winning tenders or the direct award of local transport services by the state of Baden-Württemberg to the Ortenau-S-Bahn and Breisgau-S-Bahn are lost tenders for services on the Wiesentalbahn (in cooperation with the Basler Verkehrsbetriebe , award to the Swiss Bundesbahnen ) or on the Badische Schwarzwaldbahn (in cooperation with SBB GmbH , Albtal-Verkehrs-Gesellschaft and HzL, awarded to Schwarzwaldbahn GmbH , a 100 percent subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn ).
Since the dissolution of Ortenau-S-Bahn GmbH in 2014, SWEG has operated direct passenger traffic on the following routes:
At the beginning of October 2016, the company outsourced the railway infrastructure to SWEG Eisenbahnwege GmbH due to railway law requirements .
Since the dissolution of the Breisgau-S-Bahn GmbH (2017), the SWEG has operated direct passenger traffic on the following routes:
On January 1, 2018, the SWEG Südwestdeutsche Verkehrs-Aktiengesellschaft merged with the Hohenzollerische Landesbahn , which had had the same management board since June 2000, to form SWEG Südwestdeutsche Landesverkehrs-AG .
