}} }} The Vejprty–Annaberg-Buchholz railway ((ドイツ語:Bahnstrecke Vejprty–Annaberg-Buchholz unt Bf)) is a branch line in the Czech Republic and the German state of Saxony. The line extends the Chomutov–Vejprty/Reitzenhain railway at Vejprty (Weipert), crossing the Czech-German border and running via Cranzahl to Annaberg-Buchholz. It has been operated since 2001 by Erzgebirgsbahn, which is part of DB Regio. == History == After the opening of the Chemnitz–Annaberg line in 1866, the ''Annaberger Eisenbahncomitee'' (Annaberg railway committee) called for a continuation of the line through the Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge) to Bohemia. At the time, the only line on the south side of the Erzgebirge was the Aussig-Teplitz Railway (''Aussig-Teplitzer Eisenbahn''), connecting Aussig (now Ústí nad Labem) and Teplitz (now Teplice). On 28 August 1865, the Annaberg committee finally procured the grant of a concession by the Austrian government for a "Bohemian–Saxon connecting railway" (''Sächsisch-Böhmische Verbindungsbahn'') to connect the Buschtěhrad Railway (''Buschtěhrader Eisenbahn'', , named after Buschtěhrad) at Katschitz. The Austro-Prussian War of 1866 prevented it being built, however, and the concession expired. On 1 July 1868, the Buschtěhrader Railway received a new concession for a Komotau–Weipert line, which was approved together with the line from Prague via Komotau (Chomutov) to Eger (Cheb). On 29 September 1869, Austria-Hungary concluded a treaty with the Kingdom of Saxony for the realisation of a "rail connection to the Bohemian-Saxon border near Weipert, Georgswalde and Warnsdorf". Saxony undertook to complete the line from Weipert to Annaberg by 1 July 1871. If no private investor could be found for the construction of the line, it would be built at public expense. For the construction on line on Saxon territory, the Annaberg railway committee founded the Saxon-Bohemian Connecting Railway, Annaberg-Weipert, Company (''Gesellschaft der Sächsisch-Böhmischen Verbindungsbahn Annaberg–Weipert''), which received a concession for the construction of the railway from the border to Annaberg on 19 April 1870. The Franco-Prussian War, along with the severe winter of 1870/1871, delayed the completion of the line, originally planned for 1871, several times. The Buschtěhrad Railway eventually opened the Komotau-Weipert line on 1 August 1872. Three days later, on 3 August 1872, the Weipert–Annaberg line also went into operation for general traffic. Operations were taken over by the Royal Saxon State Railways (''Königlich Sächsische Staatseisenbahnen'') using its own resources in return for 50 per cent of gross revenue. The Buschtěhrad Railway owned the section within Austria-Hungary from Weipert to the border, which was operated on lease. 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「Vejprty–Annaberg-Buchholz railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
