Hanseatische Eisenbahn GmbH (HANS) is a rail transport company that emerged in 2014 from the passenger transport division of Eisenbahngesellschaft Potsdam (EGP). Both companies belong to ENON GmbH, which is based in Putlitz in the northwest of Brandenburg, Germany. In Brandenburg, Hanseatische Eisenbahn operates local rail passenger transport on the branch lines in the Prignitz. On 2 November 2012, the Verkehrsverbund Berlin-Brandenburg (VBB) announced that EGP (from which HANS emerged in 2014) would take over these rail connections for (initially) two years from December 2012. The Meyenburg-Pritzwalk line and Pritzwalk-Neustadt (Dosse) line will be operated with trains of the 504 and 670 series. However, the scope of the operation is significantly smaller than that of Prignitzer Eisenbahn, which previously operated the lines. According to the invitation to tender, EGP was also responsible for developing a concept for the future operation of the lines. Once such a concept had been drawn up, the transport contract could be extended for a further two years in December 2014. For the following period, a further two-year contract was concluded from December 2016 to December 2018. If the neighbouring communities agree, a long-term ten-year contract was planned for December 2018. More information...
