The South German Railway Company (''Süddeutsche Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft AG'') or SEG was founded on 11 February 1895, in Darmstadt by the railway entrepreneur, Herrmann Bachstein, and several bank managers. == The SEG as the Bachstein Railway == The majority of shares were owned by the ''Bank für Handel und Industrie'' in Darmstadt. In 1908 this share was bought out by Hugo Stinnes and other industrialists, who founded the Rhine Westphalia Railway Company (''Rheinisch-Westfälische Bahn-GmbH'' or ''RWB'') in 1909, in order to bring together the numerous tramway operations of the Ruhrgebiet. Major shareholders in the RWB included the city of Essen (48%), the district of Essen (27%) and the ''Rheinisch-Westfälische Elektrizitätswerk'' or ''RWE'' (25%). The SEG was formed by Herrmann Bachstein with the aim of reorganising the railways in the states of Baden and Hesse that were part of the ''Hermann Bachstein Branch Line Central Organisation'' (''Centralverwaltung für Secundärbahnen Herrmann Bachstein''). Of these, Bachstein initially brought the following Hessian railways into the new company in 1895: * Osthofen – Westhofen * Reinheim – Reichelsheim * Sprendlingen – Wöllstein (extended to Fürfeld in 1898) * Worms – Offstein ''(Lower Eis Valley Railway)''. 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「South German Railway Company」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
