The Berlin U-Bahn originated in 1880 with Werner Siemens' idea to build an urban railway in Berlin. During the nine years after the German Empire was founded, the city's population grew by over one-third and traffic problems increased. In 1896, Siemens & Halske began to construct the first stretch of overhead railway. On 1 April 1897, the company began construction of an electric underground railway. The Berliner Verkehrs Aktiengesellschaft (BVG) was formed in 1928, and took over further construction and operation of the network. In 1938, the company was renamed Berlin Transport Company; the original acronym, however, remained. Since 1994, the BVG has been a public company.

  • Die Geschichte der Berliner U-Bahn nahm ihren Ursprung 1880 mit einer Anregung des Unternehmers Werner Siemens, in Berlin eine Hoch- und Untergrundbahn zu bauen. In den neun Jahren nach Gründung des Deutschen Kaiserreiches war die Einwohnerzahl von Berlin um über ein Drittel angestiegen, was zunehmende Verkehrsprobleme verursachte. Anfang 1896 begann daraufhin Siemens & Halske mit dem Bau der ersten Strecke als Hochbahn. Am 1. April 1897 wurde die Gesellschaft für elektrische Hoch- und Untergrundbahnen in Berlin (Hochbahngesellschaft) gegründet, die den weiteren Bau und Betrieb übernahm und 1929 in der Berliner Verkehrs-AG aufging. Das 1938 in Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) umfirmierte Unternehmen wurde Eigenbetrieb der Stadt Berlin. Die BVG ist seit 1994 eine Anstalt des öffentlichen Rec (de)
