The Städtebahn Sachsen is a railway company that operated regional train services in Saxony, Germany by order of Verkehrsverbund Oberelbe. Städtebahn is a subsidiary of Nordbayerische Eisenbahngesellschaft (NBE) and started its operations in 2010.
On 25 July 2019, Städtebahn ceased all its services due to financial difficulties, resulting in the leasing contract of the rolling stock being terminated by the rolling stock owner.[2] After 72 hours of no trains, Verkehrsverbund Oberelbe terminated the contract with Städtebahn to operate regional trains (due to run until 2024), and seeks an emergency awarding to another train company.[3]
