Trümmerbahnen

After the Second World War ended in Europe on May 8, 1945, most of the major German cities were in ruins. To remove the huge mountains of rubble, small and large field railway networks were built in many cities in Germany, which became known as "rubble railways". In his book, Klaus Scherff describes the tasks, organization, technology and operation of these narrow-gauge construction helpers. He directs his special attention to the rubble railways in Berlin, Dresden, Frankfurt / M., Hamburg, Hanover, Karlsruhe, Leipzig, Lübeck, Mannheim, Munich, Pforzheim and Stuttgart.
