Eisenbahn Revue International appears since 1994; It was created on the same concept as the Swiss Railway Review, but with a focus on Germany. With up-to-date and technically well-founded reports as well as the high-quality illustration, the Eisenbahn-Revue International manages to survive in the highly competitive German market.

Short messages with carefully selected, high-quality images characterize the first part of the booklet. This is followed by the middle section, which covers internationally relevant topics, often including technical articles on new rail vehicles. In a third part there is room for longer reports on current German and international topics. The name has made a name for itself Eisenbahn Revue International not least with contributions by renowned authors on legal topics.

The editors are independent of railways and industry. In contrast to comparable journals, no "advisory committee" watches over what is published and what is not.
