The era of high-speed transport at the Deutsche Bundesbahn began in the summer of 1991 with the introduction of the ICE�1. For the first time, an entirely new railway system was introduced, comprising newly developed multiple units, dedicated high-speed lines, and comprehensive timetable restructuring. The railcar concept, featuring closed, wide gangways between coaches, was groundbreaking for modern high-speed rail travel. With a maximum service speed of 280�km/h and a high level of passenger comfort, the ICE�1 revolutionised long-distance rail transport and gained significant market share in competition with both road and air travel.
