Deutsche Reichsbahn ID - Zieger

I have a few of these and will post a few for reference in near future. Big Thanks to Andreas again for his translation for me on these. Some I have are in polish as well German. Some were forced labor and I will show pictures later of those when I can have time to photograph.

This ID card is for spouses of railway personnel. This one was issued to Mrs. Jenny Zieger neé Hochstein, born 5 March 1868 in Dresden, resident at Leipzigerstr. 45 III in Dresden. She was the wife of Paul Zieger, an ancillary baggage worker. The document was issued by the Fahrt- und Gepäckabfertigung (traffic- and baggage handling department) Dresden-Neustadt on 16 Oct. 1940 and signed by an official "ranked" Reichsbahnoberinspektor. Andreas and I gathered it served as an ID for free transportation and perhaps other social benefits. Spouses of railway personnel were entitled to free railway transportation under certain terms and conditions.
