| 释义 |
The Aachen tramway network ({{lang-de|Straßenbahnnetz Aachen}}) was the backbone of public transport in Aachen, now in the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, and the surrounding areas from 1880 to 1974. The track gauge was {{Track gauge|1000mm|lk=on}}, see Nordrhein-Westfalen. At times, the network also extended into Belgium and the Netherlands. At its maximum extent, its route length was {{convert|181.4|km|mi}} and its line length was {{convert|213.5|km|mi}}. In 1914, it was the fourth largest tramway network in Germany. Also, it was one of the most extensive German interurban networks. In 1974, the last tramway in the network was closed. The network was operated from 1880 by the Aachener und Burtscheider Pferdeeisenbahn-Gesellschaft (in English: Aachen and Burtscheid Horse Railway Company), which in 1894 became the Aachener Kleinbahn-Gesellschaft (AKG, in English: Aachen Light Railway Company). In 1942 the name was changed to Aachener Straßenbahn und Energieversorgungs-AG (ASEAG, in English: Aachen Tramway and Power Company). It is now a bus company, but the company name still refers to trams. See also
