The ''Karwendel'' is an international train service between Germany and Austria. The train was named after the mountain range forming the German-Austrian border south of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The train was introduced as ''Karwendel Express'' in 1930 by the Deutsche Reichsbahn, linking Munich with Innsbruck using the scenic route ''Mittenwald Railway'' through the mountains with the border crossing at Mittenwald and calling at the 1936 Winter Olympics venues in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The operation ceased in World War II. In 1969 the Deutsche Bundesbahn reintroduced the train using VT 11.5 TEE diesel multiple units.〔Reisen 1.Klasse page 93〕 The Saturday only train was classified as touristtrain serving several wintersport resorts along the Karwendelbahn between Garmisch and Seefeld. The service started in Frankfurt am Main, much farther north then the pre-war start at Munich.〔(Timetables of FDt ''Karwendel'' 1969 and 1970 ) at ''www.welt-der-modelleisenbahn.com''〕 From the introduction of the Intercity system in 1979 the train was named ''IC Karwendel''〔(Timetables of IC ''Karwendel'' from 1971 to 1984 ) at ''www.welt-der-modelleisenbahn.com''〕 In May 1979 a daily Intercity service from Bremen to Innsbruck named ''Karwendel'' has been introduced.〔 On 31 May 1987 it was one of the initial EuroCity services.〔Deutsche Bahn, timetable ''Ihr Zugbegleiter'' 1987, shown at (''www.grahnert.de'' )〕 The EuroCity started as far north as Hamburg but its initial southern terminus Innsbruck was already changed to Seefeld by September 1987 and after only one year as EuroCity the train was reconverted into an Intercity Since 2008 the ''Karwendel'' has been an ICE service, with Berlin the northern terminus and serving the region south of Munich only at weekends.〔Current DB-timetable, (kursbuch.bahn.de ), table (''Kursbuchstreckennummer'') 960〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Karwendel (train)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
