00:49With pride and gratitude, the German Railway Administration and the German railways can look back to the days of the year 1935,
00:59which were commemorated on December 7, 1835, when the railway from Nuremberg to Fürth was the first German railway to start operation.
01:09The opening of the anniversary exhibition, 100 Years of German Railways in Nuremberg, took place on July 14th.
01:18The number of guests of honor, the representatives of the party and state, the in- and foreign press and the railway workers,
01:25were great, to whom the Director General of the German Reichsbank, Dr. Dorfmüller, sent words of welcome.
01:31Mr. Minister, Mr. Prime Minister, Mr. Governor-General, Mr. Prime Minister, Comrades,
01:48It was on a rough December morning in 1835, when for the first time a locomotive from abroad was on duty.
02:07Of all those who attended this celebration, probably no one had the audacity to believe that from this one locomotive 25,000 would become.
02:27Unfortunately, the old locomotive failed. But we had enough pictures and drawings to make it stand again.
02:39However, from the 40 horsepowers it embodied, from the maximum speed of 30 to 40 kilometers per hour,
02:49and from the length of 6 kilometers, it became a mass that exceeded the coldest hopes of those times.
02:59You see next to this old locomotive the most modern types.
03:043,000 horsepowers combined and a speed of 175 kilometers per hour.
03:14This is the result of the long period of development that we can show you here today.
03:21It is a product of the cooperation of countless German comrades, men of the fist and the brain,
03:30and should serve to carry Germany's name abroad.
03:38After all, this exhibition is nothing more than a piece of Germany itself. Heil Hitler!
03:51After him, the Reichs- and Prussian Minister of Transport, Freiherr von Els Rübener, spoke.
03:57German men and women, it was a happy idea of the German Railway Society
04:10to organize an exhibition in Nuremberg on the anniversary of the German Railways,
04:21which should show what development our railways have undertaken in the 100 years of their existence
04:33and at what high level they are now.
04:40The exhibition should give a picture of what has been achieved in Germany in the field of railways.
04:51What the railway does, is made up of countless individual achievements
05:00of all those who have put themselves in the service with the fist or with the forehead.
05:07For all of us, however, the exhibition should be an incentive to continue working
05:14and to use all our strength for useful work for the good of our united fatherland.
05:24We want to promise this to the Führer and Chancellor of our people and fatherland,
05:33by commemorating him with a triple Sieg Heil.
05:37Our Führer, Adolf Hitler, Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil!
05:47It is impossible to reproduce the full extent of what is offered in the picture on the exhibition.
05:54An impressive model explains the cooperation between the Reich Railway and Kraftwagen.
06:02The picture of the Reich Railway
06:18A large number of vehicles of all kinds are displayed.
06:23The observation car with side skirts and a safety glass roof.
06:28The Borsig power line locomotive from the series 05.
06:34The Henschel Wegmann power line steam train.
06:39The two-part alternating current fast train.
06:46This car is only in the second class.
06:50It stands out for its excellent interior and the use of German noble wood.
06:57The German cityscape
07:07The German cityscapes are particularly remarkable.
07:14The German cityscapes
07:28The three-part alternating current fast train is a further development of the flying Hamburger.
07:35Its third class is padded.
07:40The three-part alternating current fast train
07:50The development of the superstructure was shown on the open area of the exhibition.
08:00You also saw the various devices and vehicles for the installation and maintenance of the superstructure.
