Information on Railway Infrastructure in Printed Papers of the Bundestag

Occasionally a member of the Bundestag, the German federal parliament, request information on the federal railways from the administration. The (mandatory) answers as well as the questions itself are published in the "Bundestags-Drucksachen" or printed papers of the Bundestags and are available through the PARFORS service of the Bundestag.

Beside some statistics the more interersting information regards the closure of lines.
