Regiobahn Bitterfeld: Logistics in Central and Eastern Germany

Locally rooted, operational nationwide

Regiobahn Bitterfeld Berlin GmbH (RBB) is based in Bitterfeld-Wolfen, Eisenach and Zwickau. From there, it offers the entire range of rail logistics services in central and eastern Germany. This includes transport, shunting, loading and unloading. The company has extensive expertise in the transport of chemicals and hazardous goods and is a partner to the construction, vehicle and component industries. RBB offers its customised and economically attractive individual wagon network across all sectors. With its branch in the port of Hamburg, RBB also opens the gateway to Germany's largest seaport.

On Site for automotive

Since June 2020, RBB has been using its expertise in industrial railway operations for a vehicle plant in Zwickau. The rail logistics specialist manages the rail-side distribution of all required goods on the factory premises. The RBB team on site is responsible for internal transport and shunting activities. This ensures that primary materials can be delivered ‘just-in-time’, material reaches its destination and finished vehicle trains are dispatched on time. This is the only way to ensure that the production process runs smoothly.

History in motion

Regiobahn Bitterfeld Berlin was founded in 1995 through the merger and reorganisation of the former on-site railways of Filmfabrik Wolfen, the former Chemie AG Bitterfeld-Wolfen and the Central German mining industry. Since 1996, RBB has been a full subsidiary of today's Captrain Deutschland GmbH. The company has 38 kilometres of its own railway infrastructure. The internal specialist workshop at the Bitterfeld site is responsible for the maintenance and repair of the vehicles and also offers its comprehensive range of services to external rail transport companies.
 

Intermodal handling made easy

At its Eisenach site, RBB operates over ten kilometres of its own infrastructure and runs a combined transport terminal equipped with mobile handling equipment. Fitted with a public loading track and powerful freight movers, up to 120 containers and swap bodies of 20 to 45 feet and a total weight of up to 40 tonnes can be processed daily.

Training centre for wagon and brake technology

Karsten Koppehel has been in charge of the Captrain Deutschland Group's Railcar Training Centre at the Bitterfeld site since its foundation in 2002. Our specialists for the training and further qualification of authorised brake testers for wheel brakes and inspectors for freight wagons of levels 1 to 4 in accordance with VDV specification 758 (formerly wagon master and wagon inspector) are looking forward for enquiries from the whole sector. Participants can learn everything there is to know about checking and securing freight wagons. This also includes regular training courses (RFU).

RBB as an employer in the region

At RBB, whatever happens, everybody is working for the common cause. Because railways only work as a team. We offer jobs for shunting attendants or train drivers. Newcomers also have the opportunity to obtain a train driver's licence. Outside the locomotive, there are many different jobs in the areas of infrastructure, workshop and administration, too.
