ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE OF THE GERMAN REICHSBAHN
This report gives information on the functional and geographic
eThe section on functional organization discusses the adminis-
trative structure (Ministry of Transportation, Directorate-General
of the Reichsbahn, Reichsbahn directorates and divisions, Tank Car
Operations Office); technical organization (railroad repair yards,
operations plants and engine terminals, locomotives stations), oper-
ational organization (traffic and operations control, train control,
etc.), and the Railroad Workers' Union.
Under geographical organization are given details on the sections
and facilities of the Reichsbahn directorates, as well as lists of
railroad repair yards and district committees of the Railroad Workers'
Union.

considered complete except in certain phases such as tha depart-
mentri structure of the Directorate-Genera). and of the Reichsbahn
directorates Berlin, Cottbus, Halle, and V%agdzburg. Purposely

of the German Economic Commission for the Soviet Occupation Zone (Deutsche
Wirtschaftskoaaisaion, DWX, Hauptverwaltung Verkehr). In 1949, when the Soviet
Zone of Germany became the German Democratic Republic, the Main Administration
for Transportation.was changed to the Ministry of Transportation.
neering. Subordinated to it are the three Directorates-General of the Reicha
bahn, of Water Transportation, and of Automotive Transportation.a)
b. Diretorate-General of the German Reichabahn (Generaldirektion,
GDnR or GDR)
The Directorate-General, headed by its Director-General, Erwin

2. Technical Organization
a. Railroad Repair Yard (Reichsbahnausbeaserungaverk, RAW)
The railroad repair yards are regularly listed as belonging to
the individual Reichsbahn directorate (d), but, since there is a department
(V) of the Directorate-General for railroad repair yards and since information
dealing with these yards is published in the official Reichsbahn bulletins by
the Directorate-General (j), it would appear that they are administered at
least in part by Department V of the Directorate-General. The yards can be
classified as locomotive repair plants, car repair plants, or locomotive and
car repair plants.(f)
b. Operations Plants and Engine Terminal
On the division level all locomotive and car servicing is handled
by railroad operations plants (Betriebsverke, Bw). If the volume of operations
becomes too large, a division of functions takes place: railroad car opera-
tions plants (Bahnbetriebewagenwerke, Bwv) handle car servicing, and engine
terminals (Bahnbetriebswerke) handle all locomotive servicing.(g)

According to a memorandum issued in 1941 by the Gei..-n Commander of Rail-
road Troops, a "Bahnbetriebswerk" should embrace the f,--lowing;
(7.) Locomotive service installations such a! cinder pits, coal-
(2) Turntables or Y-tracks
(3) Storage track for locomotives
(4) Engine sheds with stalls, work pits, and work benches
(5) Sanitary and overnight accommodations for engine crews
delivery
(9) Central heating systems
(10) Lighting equipment including electric power stations
c. Locomotive Station (Lokbf., Lokstation)
Subordinate to the operations plants are the locomotive stations.
The same source in 1941 defined a "Lokstation" as "a 'Bahnbetriebsverk' with
very limited tasks. It has purely operational functions and consequently has
hardly any repair facilities. Items 1-11 under the deft*ition of a 'Rahn-
betriebsverk' ,.re also generally valid for a 'Loks tation, ' but on a much smaller -
scale." (h)
d. Miscel'lane)us Technical Shope, usually attached to larger rail-
road stations (i)
Section shops (Bshnmeietereten, Bm) handle maintenance of the
permanent way.
Signal and communications groups (Signal- and Fernaeldemeiste-
reien, Sfm), signal shops (Signalwerkataetten, h?), and communications shops
(Fernmeldeverkstaetten, Fw) handle maintenance and repair of signal and :om-
munications installations.(g)

Architectural Engineering Office (Rochbaumeisterei, Hbm)
High Voltage Section Shop (Starkstrommeisterei, Stm)
High--Voltage Maintenance Shop (Starkstromrnterhaltungsstelle, StUst)

The Directorate-General of the German Reichsbahn, subordinated to the
Ministry of Transportation, has Jurisdiction over all public railroads in the
German Democratic Republic. Under the Directorate-General there are eight
directorates: Berlin, Cottbus, Dresden, Erfurt, Greifevald, Halle, Magdeburg,
and Schwerin.(a)
a. Reichsbahn Directorate Berlin
Reichabahn Directorate Berlin is subdivided into seven divisions,
cumbered 1-7. Each division includes one or more railroad car operations
plants and one or more railroad operations plants. Locomotive stations are
subordinated to railroad operations plants. The following tab;.e shows this
structure for RBD Berlin.
