The '''Austrian Federal Railways''' ({{langx|de|Österreichische Bundesbahnen}} {{IPA|de-CH|ˈøːstɐraɪçɪʃə ˈbʊndəsˌbaːnən|}}, formally '''{{lang|de|Österreichische Bundesbahnen-Holding [[Aktiengesellschaft]]}}''' or '''{{lang|de|ÖBB-Holding AG}}''' ({{lit|Austrian Federal Railways Holding Stock Company}}) and formerly the {{lang|de|Bundesbahnen Österreich}} {{IPA|de-CH|ˈbʊndəsˌbaːnən ˈøːstɐraɪç|}} or '''''BBÖ''''' {{IPA|de|beːbeːˈʔøː|}}), now commonly known as '''ÖBB''' ({{IPA|de|øːbeːˈbeː|}}), is the national railway company of [[Austria]], and the administrator of [[Liechtenstein]]'s railways. The ÖBB group is owned entirely by the Republic of Austria, and is divided into several separate businesses that manage the infrastructure and operate passenger and freight services.

The Austrian Federal Railways has had two discrete periods of existence. It was first formed in 1923, using the ''Bundesbahn Österreich'' name, as a successor to the [[Imperial Royal Austrian State Railways]] (kkStB), but was incorporated into the ''[[Deutsche Reichsbahn]]'' during the 1938–1945 [[Anschluss]]. It was reformed in 1947, under the slightly different name ''Österreichische Bundesbahnen'', and remains in existence in this form.

Major changes currently being made to the Austrian railway network are the construction of the [[Koralm Railway]], the [[Semmering Base Tunnel]] and the [[Brenner Base Tunnel]] connection with [[Italy]].

[[Eurobarometer]] surveys conducted in 2018 showed that satisfaction levels of Austrian rail passengers are among the highest in the [[European Union]] when it comes to punctuality, reliability and frequency of trains.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ec.europa.eu/transport/sites/transport/files/2018-09-18-eurobarometer-pax-rail-infographic.pdf|title=Mobility and transport}}</ref> Furthermore, with their ''[[Nightjet]]'' brand, ÖBB operates Europe's largest night train fleet.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://railway-news.com/austrian-federal-railways-orders-additional-night-trains-from-siemens/|title = Austrian Federal Railways Orders Additional Night Trains from Siemens|date = 10 August 2021}}</ref>

Unlike other major railway companies in Europe that offer more flexible cancellation policies, ÖBB only offers two types of tickets: full-price tickets, and cheaper but non-exchangeable and non-refundable tickets.

==History==
{{Further|Economy of Austria-Hungary#Railways}}

*1882&nbsp;– Gradual nationalisation of the railway network of the [[Austro-Hungarian Empire]] into the [[Imperial Royal Austrian State Railways]] (''Kaiserlich-königliche österreichische Staatsbahnen'', kkStB). By the outbreak of the [[World War I]], the only major railway in Austria to remain in private hands was the [[Austrian Southern Railway]] (''Südbahn'').
* 1918&nbsp;– After the break-up of the Austro-Hungarian Empire following the World War I, the Austrian rump of kkStB remained in state control under the name ''Deutschösterreichische Staatsbahnen'' (DÖStB), which was renamed the ''Österreichische Staatsbahnen'' (ÖStB) in 1919.
* 1923&nbsp;– Foundation of the independent, commercial enterprise, the ''Bundesbahn Österreich'' (which used the abbreviation BBÖ, because ÖBB was already taken by the [[Switzerland|Swiss]] ''{{ill|Oensingen-Balsthal-Bahn|de}}''). This company took over the assets of the ÖStB and the ''Südbahn'', together with other minor railways, like the {{ill|Lower Austrian State Railways|de|Niederösterreichische Landesbahnen}}.
* 1938&nbsp;– The [[Anschluss]] of Austria into the [[Nazi Germany|Third Reich]]. The BBÖ was taken over by the [[Deutsche Reichsbahn]]. During [[World War II]]  about 41% of the Austrian railway network was destroyed.
* 1947&nbsp;– The company was reformed using the slightly different name of ''Österreichische Bundesbahnen'' and the abbreviation ÖBB (by that time the Swiss private railway used the abbreviation SP for its goods wagons in international traffic, so its abbreviation ÖBB could now be appropriated) as a state-owned company. Their infrastructure was rebuilt and electrification was accelerated.
* 1969&nbsp;– A new federal railway law was enacted. The ÖBB became a non-independent, economic entity, that was run as a branch of the government's industrial programme and remained entirely within the Federal budget.
* 1992&nbsp;– The ÖBB were broken out of the federal budget and turned into company with its own legal status (a cross between a ''GmbH'' and an ''AG'' in Austrian commercial terms). The company is 100% owned by the Republic of Austria. This change had two primary aims: 1.&nbsp;It had to conform to EU rules on the admission of Austria into the [[European Union]]. 2.&nbsp;The financial demand on the public purse was to be reduced as a result of improvements in efficiency and the pressure of competition.
* 2004&nbsp;– The ÖBB were reorganised into ÖBB Holding AG and a number of operating subsidiaries. The holding company was to oversee the operations of the companies assigned to it, coordinate a coherent strategic approach and allocate tasks for the whole enterprise.<ref>{{cite web| author=ÖBB-Holding AG| url=http://www.oebb.at/holding/de/Aufgaben/index.jsp| title=Aufgaben}}</ref>
* 1 January 2005&nbsp;– The subsidiaries of ÖBB-Holding AG became autonomous and independent operationally. 
* In 2012, ÖBB celebrated the 175th anniversary of the ''[[North railway (Austria)|Nordbahn]]'', the earliest predecessor company marking the start of [[rail transport in Austria]]. ÖBB CEO [[Christian Kern]] inaugurated an exhibition on the company's collaboration with [[Nazi Germany]], named "The Suppressed Years – Railway and National Socialism in Austria 1938–1945". He referred to that period as "the darkest chapter of our company history," adding that the company must accept this period as part of its legacy.<ref>{{cite web |title="Verdrängte Jahre – Bahn und Nationalsozialismus in Österreich 1938–1945" |publisher=erinnern.at |url=http://www.erinnern.at/bundeslaender/oesterreich/e_bibliothek/ausstellungen/verdraengte-jahre |accessdate=21 May 2016 |language=de}}</ref> The exhibition later went on tour and was presented at the [[European Parliament]]'s [[Espace Léopold|parliamentary building in Brussels]].<ref>{{cite web|title=The Suppressed Years Railway and National Socialism in Austria 1938 – 1945 |publisher=ÖBB |url=http://Heissetreffen.club |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190621005639/http://heissetreffen.club/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=21 June 2019 |year=2014 |accessdate=21 May 2019 }}</ref>

The Austrian rail system is largely electrified. Electrification of the system began in 1912 but did not reach an advanced state until the 1950s. The last steam locomotive in regular service on the [[standard gauge]] network was retired in 1978.

The post-war laws related to the Austrian railways were the:
* ''Eisenbahngesetz'' (EisbG 1957),
* ''Schieneninfrastrukturfinanzierungsgesetz'' (SCHIG 1999),
* ''Eisenbahnhochleistungsstreckengesetz'' (HIG 1999) and
* ''Bundesbahngesetz'' (1992).

== Logo history ==
<gallery>
File:2018-05-21 (205) Front of 1099.06 at Bahnhof Kirchberg an der Pielach, Austria.jpg|ÖBB's first logo. It consists of a flying wheel-styled symbol with one "B" on each side of the "Ö", and was used from 1960 to 1974.
File:ÖBB Logo Pflatsch neu.svg|ÖBB's second logo consists of a stylized "O" symbol with extending arrows. Within Austria it was nicknamed the "{{Interlanguage link|Pflatsch|lt=|de|Pflatsch|WD=}}" (lit. spatter, spot), and was officially used from 1974 to 2004, although some stations and vehicles used it up to the mid-late 2010s. It continued to be used when ÖBB's current logo was introduced in 1998.<ref>Richard Deiss: Silberling und Bügeleisen: 1000 Spitznamen in Transport und Verkehr und was dahinter steckt.
