Our cooperative
In 2021, European Sleeper was founded by Elmer van Buuren and Chris Engelsman. A cooperative model was chosen since the company was established and financed by a broad community of night train enthusiasts. Now over €5 million has been raised, by almost 5,000 investors! Moreover, a unique European railway company has emerged, which is entirely community-owned.
Revival of the Paris-Berlin night train
The third sharefunding round supports the revival of the historic Paris–Berlin night train connection, with our first departure on 26 March 2026. Together with our future route to Milan, starting in June 2026, the Paris–Berlin connection reflects our mission to connect Europe by night.
