< Wikipedia:WikiProject Trains | Rail transport in Germany task force

This mini-project on branch lines in Bavaria is part of the Rail transport in Germany task force within WikiProject Trains. Branch lines were especially numerous in Bavaria and it is a popular subject because of the beautiful backdrops which many of the pass through, from the foothills of the Alps in the south to the rolling hills, crags, castles and lush valleys of Franconia in the north.

If you have an interest in this area, please feel free to help in any way you can. The aim is to create a range of articles on this subject, monitor progress and encourage coherence and consistency.

Context

edit

The Kingdom of Bavaria, in what is now southern Germany, had established a comprehensive network of Bavarian branch lines by the end of the 19th century. From Nordhalben in the north to Schliersee in the south many such railways appeared, each one legally classed as a Lokalbahn (local line), Sekundärbahn (secondary line) or Vizinalbahn(neighbourhood line); later all to be grouped by the Deutsche Reichsbahn as Nebenbahnen. This project aims to coordinate and optimise the portrayal of branch lines in the Bavarian provinces of Upper, Middle and Lower Franconia, Swabia, Upper Palatinate, Upper and Lower Bavaria as well as the Palatinate which formerly belonged to Bavaria.
