- Halberstädter Verkehrsgesellschaft (HVG)
- Verkehrsgesellschaft Salzland (KVG)
- Jerichower Land Transport Authority (NJL)
- Altmarkkreis Salzwedel mbH Personenverkehrsgesellschaft (PVGS)
- Stendal bus
In principle, you can buy your Deutschland-Ticket from any transport company. If the transport company of your choice is not on the list, please visit mein-takt.de/d-ticket for more information.
Saxony-Anhalt created the ordering option via insa.de to enable all transport companies in the state to sell the Deutschland-Ticket. The transport companies that have taken up this offer are those that do not yet have the necessary technology to provide the ticket digitally, as required by the Federal Government.
In principle, you can buy your Deutschland-Ticket from any transport company. If your preferred partner is not on the list, please visit mein-takt.de/d-ticket for more information.
Our partners here at insa.de generally offer the Deutschland-Ticket as a mobile phone ticket, which you can display in the INSA D-Ticket app. If you prefer a paper ticket with a QR code, please choose one of the following transport company
- Nahverkehrsgesellschaft Jerichower Land (NJL).
The paper ticket will be replaced by a smart card after a transitional period.
Unfortunately, the developer of the INSA app was not able to implement the sale or display of the Deutschland-Ticket in the existing app at short notice. In order to enable the transport companies in the state to make the Deutschland-Ticket digitally available to their passengers, we have decided to develop our own app for this purpose.
The INSA D-Ticket App can display the mobile phone tickets of the following transport companies:
- Halberstädter Verkehrsgesellschaft (HVG)
- Harzer Verkehrsbetriebe (HVB)
- Verkehrsgesellschaft Salzland (KVG)
- Magdeburger Verkehrsbetriebe (MVB)
- Jerichower Land Transport Company (NJL)
- Public transport Altmarkkreis Salzwedel (PVGS)
- Stendalbus GmbH
The app also displays Germany tickets that you did not order here via insa.de, but directly from one of the transport companies listed above.
After receiving your subscription number, it can take several hours for the transport companies to make the data technically available for the INSA D-Ticket app. Please be patient. If the error persists, please contact the transport company.
Some transport companies, e.g. Magdeburger Verkehrsbetriebe, will give you both a customer number and a separate subscription number (Abo-Nummer). Please note that you must use the subscription number to log in.
The national tariff regulations for the Deutschland-Ticket stipulate that a regular bicycle ticket must be purchased in order to take a bicycle with you if a charge is made for taking a bicycle on the journey in question. Consequently, the Deutschland-Ticket does not provide for the possibility of taking a bicycle with you on a journey.
Existing regulations in Saxony-Anhalt on the free transport of bicycles remain unaffected. For example, bicycles can be taken free of charge on local trains and buses in Saxony-Anhalt.
The Deutschland-Ticket is valid on selected narrow-gauge railways and tourist railways, e.g. the Harzer Schmalspurbahnen (with the exception of the Drei Annen Hohne - Brocken line) and the Dessau-Wörlitz railway. However, the Deutschland-Ticket is not valid on the trains of the Rübelandbahn (Blankenburg - Rübeland) and the Wipperliese.
There are no plans to introduce a discounted Deutschland-Ticket for certain groups of people in Saxony-Anhalt.
The Deutschland-Ticket is only valid in 2nd class. In some regions, however, it is possible to travel in 1st class with the appropriate add-on transitional tickets. This depends on the tariff regulations of the local transport companies and transport associations. In Saxony-Anhalt, the Deutschlandtarif, the Mitteldeutscher Verkehrsverbund (MDV) and the marego network offer 1st class transitional tickets. They are available both as single tickets and as season tickets and must be purchased separately.
In principle, the federal and state governments want the Deutschland-Ticket to be offered digitally, i.e. via an app or on a chip card. For transport companies that are not yet in a position to offer such a digital ticket, there is a transitional option - until 31 December 2023 at the latest - to issue the ticket as a digitally controllable paper ticket with a QR code.
In Saxony-Anhalt, the Harzer Schmalspurbahn, Nahverkehrsgesellschaft Jerichower Land and Personenverkehrsgesellschaft Altmarkkreis Salzwedel are offering paper tickets until the end of the year.
The Deutschland-Ticket costs €49 per month.
The Deutschland-Ticket was introduced on 1 May 2023.
The Deutschland-Ticket is valid for any number of 2nd class journeys on local and regional trains throughout Germany during the validity period. It is not valid on long-distance trains and buses (IC, EC, ICE, FlixTrain, FlixBus, etc.). Regional regulations apply to 1st class travel.
No, the Deutschland-Ticket is only available as a subscription. However, the subscription can be cancelled on a monthly basis.
The Deutschland-Ticket is a new and additional offer. Existing subscriptions will not be automatically converted and can be kept. This may be useful if they contain special transport conditions or are transferable.
Most transport companies and associations offer a smooth transition to the Deutschland-Ticket. Customers will be informed by their subscription centre on how to proceed.
Employers have the option of making the Deutschland-Ticket available to their employees as a job ticket. If they provide a subsidy of at least 25 percent of the ticket's issue price, an additional discount of five percent of the issue price is granted.
The subscription is for an indefinite period and can be cancelled on a monthly basis. Cancellations must be made by the tenth of the month to take effect at the end of the calendar month.
No. As the Deutschland-Ticket is a subscription, a bank account is required to pay for the ticket on a monthly basis.
Many transport companies offer the option of buying a subscription at their customer centres.
No, the Deutschland-Ticket is personal and non-transferable.
The Deutschland-Ticket's nationwide tariff regulations stipulate that a regular ticket must be purchased in order to take a dog on a paid journey. It is therefore not possible to travel with a dog on a Deutschland-Ticket.

In den bundesweit geltenden Tarifbestimmungen des Deutschland-Tickets ist festgelegt, dass für die Mitnahme eines Hundes eine reguläre Fahrkarte zu erwerben ist, soweit die Mitnahme auf der jeweiligen Fahrt kostenpflichtig ist. Eine Mitnahmemöglichkeit im Rahmen des Deutschland-Tickets ist folglich nicht vorgesehen.
Tariff organisations may offer upgrades to the existing Semester Ticket. To find out whether your Semesterticket can be upgraded, please contact your university or the Semesterticket contract partner.
No. The Deutschland-Ticket can also be applied for and used by people living outside Germany. However, you must have a current bank account in a member state of the European Union.
