Why a Pension Fund
Makes Sense for Railroad Employees

As an employee of Deutsche Bahn, you shoulder responsibility every day—above all, for the people you work with and for. But the operations and technology may also be partly in your hands. Without you, things wouldn’t run smoothly—everyone knows that! To ensure your retirement is planned with just as much care and security as you bring to your daily work, there’s the DEVK Pension Fund DB. It was developed specifically for Deutsche Bahn employees and supplements the statutory pension with a solid, company-sponsored supplemental pension plan. This allows you to specifically bridge the retirement income gap.

Here's what the pension fund does for you

With the DEVK Pension Fund, you can smartly secure additional retirement savings.
A total of €53 is contributed to your retirement plan each month; for most people, the net cost is only €16–18.

Here's the story behind it:

  • You invest 30 € of your gross salary in the DEVK pension fund.
  • Instead of a separate contract for capital-forming benefits (€13.29), this amount goes directly into the pension fund— and your employer matches it up to €20 per month.
  • On top of that, there's a 3 € bonus from the employer.

This option is generally available to employees, trainees, and managers.
