Opening of Bavarian Ludwig Railway, 1835

The Bavarian Ludwig Railway was the first steam-hauled railway opened in Germany. For the construction of the railway, the king made available the Bavarian road builder, Paul Camille von Denis. Von Denis adopted the English rail gauge of 1435 mm for the nearly dead-straight 3.75 mile long single-track line next to the Fürth-Nuremberg road. On December 7, 1835 the company opened the first German steam-powered railway line for passenger and freight traffic before a large public gathering. The steam locomotive Adler (eagle) had been supplied with its driver by Stephenson's company from Newcastle. The Remy & Co aus Rasselstein company of Neuwied, supplied only the 15 foot long rails of rolled wrought iron. The carriages were supplied by local wagon-builders.
