Signal und Schiene was a specialist magazine for the railway system in the German Democratic Republic . Her focus was on railway construction as well as security and telecommunications .

The first years appeared as a supplement to the railway magazine Fahrt frei . The first edition, with a length of 28 pages, appeared in January 1957. A few years later, the magazine became an independent publication that was published by Transpress-Verlag.

From 1978 onwards, the magazine, which until then appeared monthly, was published every two months.

In the mid-1980s, the magazine had 40,000 subscribers.

The last issue was published in the 34th year in 1990. The magazine went up in 1991 in the West German journals Signal + Draht and Der Eisenbahningenieur , which had few readers during the division of Germany in the GDR “for reasons of contingent”.

Most recently it was the trade journal for railway construction, route electrification and the safety, signal and process automation technology of the Deutsche Reichsbahn .

The editorial work was accompanied by an editorial advisory board, which comprised nine members in 1957 and 20 in 1990.
