Deutsche Bahn Sells Properties, Earning Millions Amid Criticism

The state-owned railway company has sold over 1,500 properties since 2020, sparking debate over infrastructure needs.

Deutsche Bahn has generated approximately €364.4 million from selling over 1,500 properties since 2020.
The company plans to sell an additional 250 properties by the end of next year, potentially adding €75 million to its revenue.
Critics, including Green Party MP Matthias Gastel, argue that these sales contradict the need for infrastructure expansion.
The German government has made it more difficult to repurpose railway lands, emphasizing their importance for public interest.
Cities face challenges due to these regulations, as they struggle to find land for urban development projects.
