Die Länderbahn (DLB) rail services

Die Länderbahn is a private railway company that operates regional rail services across various networks in Germany and the Czech Republic. Founded and headquartered in Viechtach, Bavaria, it has become one of the most significant private players in the German regional transport market, operating under well-known brand names like alex, oberpfalzbahn, waldbahn, and trilex.

While the brand is deeply rooted in Bavarian railway history, its corporate ownership has evolved through international acquisitions. Today, Die Länderbahn is part of the NETINERA Group, which represents the German interests of the Italian state-owned transport giant. This structure allows the company to maintain local operational expertise in Viechtach while benefiting from the financial backing and strategic resources of an international transport leader.
