History

Gottfried Schenker founded the forwarding company Schenker in July of 1872 in Vienna together with two business partners. Gottfried Schenker most significant achievement for the company was the development of the international groupage consignment which turned into a new, low-cost, high speed transport system. He organized the first groupage consignment service from Paris to Vienna then expanded from England and Germany. Schenker was the first to offer a fixed freight tariff for general cargo of all kinds. During Schenker’s life there were 32 branches added in European countries prior to his death in 1901. The company earned an international reputation at the World Exhibition 1889 in Paris. In 1920’s, forwarders and their motor vehicles started to have conflict between the railways and road haulers. During the course of 1930, Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft concluded a secret cooperation contract with a Schenker subsidiary of Deutsche Bahnspedition Schenker & Co., they called it Schenker Contract which intention was to reduce freight transport costs for the German economy. In January 1931, Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft bought the Schenker Group to expand its influence on freight transport. Schenker remains independent in formal terms and was still run by some of the previous partners, but the company was still under the control of the Reichsbahn. Together with Schenker, Deutsche Bundesbahn also had a direct or indirect holding in numerous other transport companies and is Europe’s largest transport company. Schenker is a key-account customer of Deutsche Bundesbahn. In March 1985, the German government decided to proceed with partial privatization of Schenker Co. GmbH. And for the time being, this was the end of Schenker’s role at Deutsche Bundesbahn’s forwarding company.
