Topic on 3 September 2025: “From the Nassau state railway to the ICE – 163 years of railways in Limburg” by Bernhard Hager
It is not only railway enthusiasts who associate Limburg with the Lahn Valley Railway, which is equally spectacular in terms of landscape and technology. It was an important part of the state railway of the Duchy of Nassau early on, while the Hessian Ludwig Railway campaigned in vain for a long-distance line from Cologne to Frankfurt. It was not until the new railway line was built in 2002 that this route planning became a reality. Bernhard Hager is dedicated not only to the Limburg railway junction but also to the repair works responsible for battery-powered railcars.
