HVV Co-Chief Brodehl Departs Transport Association

Raimund Brodehl, the co-managing director of the Hamburg Transport Association (HVV), is departing the public transport network. The HVV stated that the separation was due to "differing views on issues," without elaborating on the specific points of contention.

Brodehl's departure is effective Monday. He had been jointly leading the HVV with Anna-Theresa Korbutt since January 2023. Korbutt, who was previously considered a candidate for a leadership role at Deutsche Bahn, is expected to manage the HVV alone for the time being.

Martin Bill, the Green Party's transport state secretary, acknowledged Brodehl's contributions, stating, "Raimund Brodehl has led the HVV with great commitment in recent years and driven important developments for the entire region."

The HVV, founded in 1965, claims to be the world's first transport association. It currently comprises 30 transport companies operating across Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein, and Lower Saxony.
