Deutsche Bahn AG (Deutsche Bahn Holding; abbreviated DB AG, DBAG or simply DB) is the successor of the former state railways of Germany: the Deutsche Bundesbahn of West Germany, the Deutsche Reichsbahn of the German Democratic Republic and the West Berlin VdeR. The Deutsche Bahn AG was founded on January 1, 1994 and, contrary to its predecessors, is a public limited company. As of 2006, all of its shares are still held by the Federal Republic of Germany, though privatisation is planned. The legacy of the former state railways (like civil servants formerly working for one of the state railways) is held by the Bundeseisenbahnvermögen. The group is the largest German railway enterprise and one of the largest transport corporations in the world. About two billion passengers are served each year. The company has taken over the abbreviation and logo DB from the West German state railway Deutsche Bundesbahn, although it has modernised the logo, which is occasionally called "Dürrkeks" (after Heinz Dürr, the first chairman of the DB AG), a play on words meaning "meagre biscuit", referring to its shape and the sans-serif font, especially when compared to the older, more rounded Bundesbahn logo. Originally, the DB Holding was headquartered in Frankfurt am Main but has moved to Potsdamer Platz in central Berlin in 1996, where it currently is located in a 26-storey office tower built by Helmut Jahn, which is located at the eastern end of the Sony Center and appropriately named BahnTower. As the rental agreement is to expire in 2010, however, the DB has announced plans to relocate its head offices to Berlin Hauptbahnhof. A move to Hamburg was briefly considered in 2005, but these plans were abandoned after political pressure.
