The present-day narrow gauge operator emerged as a result of the merger of two different railway companies that operated their own lines: In 1887 the first narrow gauge line in the Harz, from Gernrode to Mägdesprung, was opened. It was owned by the Gernrode-Harzgerode Railway Company (Gernrode-Harzgeroder Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft) or GHE. In the years that followed, the line was extended and the network enlarged. The GHE network included the railway lines from Gernrode to Harzgerode, Hasselfelde and Eisfelder Talmühle.

Another pet name was the Anhalt Harz Railway (Anhaltische Harzbahn). More information...
