Ausbesserungswerk Opladen, Railway repair workshop in Leverkusen, Germany
The industrial complex contains locomotive halls, wagon repair facilities, a forge, and administrative buildings spread across a large area in Leverkusen-Opladen.
Established in 1903 near Opladen station, the facility maintained locomotives and wagons, employing nearly 1,000 workers until its closure in December 2003.
The former railway repair facility now functions as an independent center for cultural events, exhibitions, workshops, and political discussions in Leverkusen.
The site has transformed into the New Railway City Opladen project, which develops the area into a mixed urban district with various facilities.
During World War II, on December 28, 1944, a bombing raid struck the facility, resulting in 234 casualties, including 104 foreign workers without access to shelters.
