HQ Function

The headquarters, known as Bahntower, serves as the central administrative and strategic hub for the entire Deutsche Bahn Group, housing its top management and corporate functions.

Notable Features:

The Bahntower, designed by architect Helmut Jahn, is a 26-story, 103-meter high skyscraper. Its distinctive semi-circular glass facade and prominent location make it an architectural landmark in modern Berlin. It offers panoramic views of the city.

Work Culture:

Deutsche Bahn's headquarters fosters a professional and dynamic work environment. As a major state-owned enterprise, the culture combines traditional German efficiency and engineering focus with modern corporate practices. There is an increasing emphasis on innovation, digitalization, and sustainability.

HQ Significance:

The headquarters' location in Berlin, the capital of Germany, underscores DB's national importance. Potsdamer Platz itself is a symbol of reunification and modernity, aligning with DB's role in connecting Germany and Europe.

Values Reflected in HQ: The modern architecture and strategic location of the Bahntower reflect Deutsche Bahn's commitment to progress, connectivity, transparency (symbolized by the glass facade), and its pivotal role in Germany's infrastructure and economic landscape.

Location:

Deutsche Bahn has a significant global presence, operating in over 130 countries. While its core rail operations are concentrated in Germany and Europe, its logistics division, DB Schenker, provides comprehensive global freight forwarding, contract logistics, and supply chain management services. DB Arriva (though pending sale) operates passenger transport services (bus and rail) in numerous European countries. This international footprint allows DB to support global trade and connect markets worldwide.
