The Salzkammergutbahn GmbH ( SKGB for short ) is a railway company in Austria that operates two of the most important tourist attractions in the Salzkammergut , the Wolfgangseeschifffahrt and the Schafbergbahn .
history
The company was founded on August 2, 2005 ( commercial register entry : August 10) as a subsidiary of ÖBB Personenverkehr Aktiengesellschaft with a declaration on the establishment of the company . The purpose of founding this company was to outsource part of the railway operations of the Austrian Federal Railways in order to then be able to sell the part of the operations brought in along with operating resources. With the resolution of the General Meeting of September 28, 2005, the split was completed to start the Wolfgangseeschifffahrt / Schafbergbahn operations of ÖBB PV AG in accordance with the split and takeover agreement and transferred to the company, which at that time was still known as ÖW Eins Schiffbetrieb GmbH .
The Salzburg AG finally acquired the Schafbergbahn and WolfgangseeSchifffahrt. The name Salzkammergutbahn was chosen based on the first owner of the Schafbergbahn, the Salzkammergut Local Railway .
Current ownership and company structure
The shareholders of the Salzkammergutbahn GmbH are currently the Salzburg AG for energy, traffic and telecommunications with 99.80% and Gunter Mackinger with 0.20%. The company is registered with the Regional Court of Wels under the commercial register number FN 265727a.
Gunter Mackinger, who represents the company independently (individual drawing), has been the managing director of commercial law since March 30, 2006. No authorized signatory was appointed, nor was a supervisory board established. In 2006 the company had an average of 23 employees.
Areas of activity
On the Schafbergbahn, the company mainly uses new gear steam locomotives from the 1990s. Historical steam locomotives from the time the railway was built and two diesel multiple units are also in use.
In 2007 the Wolfgangsee ships transported 426,919 visitors to St. Wolfgang , the Schafbergbahn 278,785. This means that these two transport facilities - in addition to the Pöstlingbergbahn - are among the most important sights in Upper Austria and are also among the top 20 in Austria .
