Industrial Heritage. The South-North German Connecting Railway (The Pardubice-Liberec Line).

Original language description

"In 1854 the Austrian government decided to sell off the state railways. Construction of Austria’s rail network was thus once again left up to private railway companies In 1854 a new Licensing Act was passed, and following its introduction Johann Liebig, the Klein Brothers company and Vojtěch Lanna joined forces to carry out the preparatory work for the line from Pardubice to Liberec and a branch line from Jaroměř to Svatoňovice. On 15 June 1856, the committee was granted the definitive licence to build. The licence was then transferred to a joint-stock company, the k.k. privilegierte Süd-norddeutsche Verbindungsbahn (Imperial-Royal Licensed South-North German Connecting Railway, SNDVB). By 1859 both the main line and the branch line were complete. In 1868 the branch line was extended from Svatoňovice to Královec, and on the basis of an international agreement with Prussia (1869) trains began running between Královec and the Prussian town of Liebau (Lubawka). In 1869 the SNDVB company applied for a permit to extend the main line from Liberec to the international border with Saxony, in order to create a link with Görlitz. The permit was issued on the condition that the company would build both the Liberec–Zawidów section and a branch line from Železný Brod to Tanvald. The company opened both lines in 1875. It also initiated the establishment of the Austrian North-West Railway (ÖNWB), whose purpose was to build the SNDVB’s own connection with Vienna. In 1869 the SNDVB and ÖNWB companies merged to create a central administrative division headquartered in Vienna, though the two companies still remained separate accounting entities. The chapter on typology presents the evolution of various types of buildings on the SNDVB lines, and the catalogue gives a description of buildings that are valuable from a heritage perspective. "
