Verwaltung des ehemaligen Reichsbahnvermögens

The administration of former Reichsbahn assets ( vThe ) were under from 1953 all the assets and properties of the Deutsche Reichsbahn in the Western sectors of Berlin did not serve the immediate operation of the railway and the Berlin S-Bahn. These included storage areas, allotments ( railway Agriculture ), and residential buildings. The precursor of the vThe ( "Administration of the Tax Office for properties of the Senate " ) was set up after the Berlin blockade and the subsequent Berlin S-Bahn strike in 1949 on the orders of the Western Allies. Thus, the Reichsbahn had only held the operating rights in West Berlin.

Prehistory

With the end of World War II was throughout Germany the special fund of the Empire, German Reichsbahn, seized by the Allies in their respective zones. In the Soviet occupation zone was passed into German hands by the command number 8 of the SMAD Reichsbahn. For practical considerations, the Western Allies recognized the Reichsbahn - management - in West Berlin - but not property rights. On May 31, 1949 decreed the Western allies that owners of land in the Western sectors, who did not live there or there were domiciled, an account had to set up a bank in the Western sectors, over which they have only with the approval of the newly created currency monitoring point were allowed. The German Reichsbahn ignored the regulation of the Western Allies, so that the finance department was commissioned for properties of the Senate with the administration in October 1949. The East German government ordered that the Reichsbahn should point to the receivership no reaction. According to the East German government, the Reichsbahn in West Berlin belonged to the GDR and was subject to the applicable legal standards and laws in the GDR.

On October 15, 1953, the management of the newly established " administration of former Reichsbahn assets ( inventories )" was transmitted. However, the plants were still - as far as they did not serve the operation - under Allied reservation law. In the land registers "Deutsches Reich, German Reichsbahn fund " was until German reunification as owner listed.

The structure and operation of the vThe

The office at the Hall 's bank (opposite the offices of the railroad service buildings of the Royal Railway Directorate Berlin) was formally subordinated to the Berlin finance senator as a department E, de facto it was an outpost of the German Federal Railways, which also presented the staff. All lease and rental income from the Reichsbahn assets flowed to the vThe. However, the vThe there were limits to where tenants and leaseholders of base areas were dependent on electricity and water supplies to the DR and had also close with her ​​a contract. Otherwise, the delivery was discontinued due to "technical reasons ". This had the vThe then remain silent.

In the early days vThe staff could only West Berlin police protection to the railway facilities of the Reichsbahn, because the GDR again and again tried to enforce exclusive rights in West Berlin. According to their view, the railway facilities in West Berlin should have been the territory of the GDR. This claim has always been opposed by the Allied and West side, sometimes even by using force. It was not until 1984 with the acquisition of the S-Bahn operating rights in West Berlin by the Senate, the ratio between vThe and DR relaxed noticeably.

According to estimates of the GDR Ministry of Transport the revenue from the vThe assets amounted in the period 1949-1983 to around DM 400 million at the same time some 125 million DM spending. In this case, the Department of Transportation for the mid-1980s came from the following extent of the assets:

  • 798 camp sites with an area of ​​approximately 1.2 million square meters
  • 194 warehouses and storage ramps with about 51,000 square meters of floor
  • 10 Güterhallen with approximately 80,000 square meters of floor
  • 233 railway arches with 31,000 square meters of floor
  • Land with an area of ​​approximately 170,000 square meters, which were used by railway sidings.
  • Allotments with an area of ​​approximately 930,000 square meters
  • 2,770 service apartments with approximately 140,000 square meters
  • Leasehold sales of 259 ancillary operations such as kiosks or restaurants in railway stations and other revenue from the rental of advertising space, or permission of machines Lineups

In many station new construction, as in 1960 Halensee S-Bahn station, the vThe involved a direct grant or donor gave himself attachments in the order, such as the terraces on the Bahnhof Zoo in the 1950s. Even after the transfer of the operating rights of the West Berlin S -Bahn from the Deutsche Reichsbahn in the Senate and the SNB on January 9, 1984, VThe committed financially station renovations and new buildings.

Resolution

The vThe was with the German reunification and the associated abolition of the Allied reservation special federal. With Deutsche Reichsbahn the vThe was summarized to the special fund German Reichsbahn loud unification treaty in 1990.

The non-operating purposes of BVG (S -Bahn ) or German Reichsbahn serving former Reichsbahn assets ( inventories ) in Berlin ( West) further managed the administrative center of the former Reichsbahn assets for the time being.

According Railroad Restructuring Act, the Federal Fund and the Reichsbahn were finally merged on 1 January 1994 to the Federal Railroad Fund. By outsourcing only those parts business from the federal railway assets that were necessary to provide rail transport services and for the operation of the railway infrastructure, the German Bahn AG was formed.
