The Duisburg tramway network ( German : Straßenbahnnetz Duisburg ) is a network of tramways forming part of the public transport system in Duisburg , a city in the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia , Germany.
Opened in 1881, the network has been operated since 1940 by the Duisburger Verkehrsgesellschaft [ de ] (DVG) and is integrated into the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Ruhr (VRR). It now forms part of the larger Duisburg Stadtbahn system, which in turn makes up part of the Rhine-Ruhr Stadtbahn system.
