About ÖBB

ÖBB-Holding AG was founded on April 20, 2004, as the strategic parent company of the ÖBB Group, as stipulated in the 2003 Federal Railway Structure Act. The Republic of Austria holds 100 percent of the shares in the company, which are managed by the Federal Ministry for Climate Protection, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation, and Technology (BMK).

The main tasks of ÖBB-Holding AG, which holds all share rights in the companies belonging to the ÖBB Group, are to exercise these share rights and to ensure the uniform strategic orientation of the ÖBB Group.

The ÖBB Group has been operational since January 1, 2005.

This is intended to ensure the long-term profitability and competitiveness of the railway.
