Ostdeutsche Eisenbahn

Not to be confused with Deutsche Reichsbahn (East Germany), the railway operator of the former DDR.

Ostdeutsche Eisenbahn GmbH (ODEG; literally 'East German Railway') is a joint venture, founded in June 2002, of the Prignitzer Eisenbahn (part of the Netinera Group) and BeNEX, with each company owning 50% of the joint venture. It operates passenger services on eleven railway lines in Berlin, Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt; the system is so named because all the States it services, apart from the western half of Berlin, were part of East Germany.
