Trams In Duisburg
The Duisburg tramway network (German: Straßenbahnnetz Duisburg) is a network of tramways forming part of the public transport system in Duisburg, a city in the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
Opened in 1881, the network has been operated since 1940 by the Duisburger Verkehrsgesellschaft (DVG) and is integrated into the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Ruhr (VRR). It now forms part of the larger Duisburg Stadtbahn system, which in turn makes up part of the Rhine-Ruhr Stadtbahn system.
