Scheduled railway services in Germany

NB: The scheduled routes given here are based primarily on the timetable of the Deutsche Bahn dated 9 December 2007.

The numbering of German timetabled routes (Kursbuchstrecken or KBS) was changed twice by the Deutsche Bundesbahn after the Second World War, in 1950 and 1970. In the Deutsche Reichsbahn (East Germany) the numbering system was completely changed in 1968. The last major revision took place after German reunification in 1992, as a result of which a common system for DB and DR routes was introduced. In addition changes, usually minor, are made annually.
