When the first train of the steam tramway steamed from the local train station through the city to the "Inner Stein" on 10 August 1886, the era of public passenger transport had also begun for the provincial capital of Salzburg. For the opening of the water-powered funicular railway to the fortress Hohensalzburg in 1892, a tramway traffic from the station through the Innere Stadt to Kapitelplatz on the one hand and on the other hand from the Residenzplatz through the Kaigasse to Nonntal. In 1896, the Salzburg railway and tramway company expanded their transport network north along the Salzach. In 1907, it was possible to establish the connection from St. Leonhard to Berchtesgaden and a short time later to the famous Königssee.
