Brandenburgisches Eisenbahnmuseum Falkenberg, Railway museum in Falkenberg/Elster, Germany.
The Brandenburg Railway Museum is housed in a former canteen building of Falkenberg station and displays locomotives and railway equipment from different eras. The location preserves vehicles and technical items that document the region's railway history.
In the 1980s, efforts to create a railway museum at Falkenberg junction led to a "Technisches Kabinett" and the display of a class 52 steam locomotive as a technical monument. The museum opened in 1994, run by the support association founded a year earlier. After using the station's reception hall and then rooms of the DRK railway service, it moved in July 2006 to the former canteen of the closed engine shed.
The museum is run by the support association founded in 1993, which collects vehicles, equipment and documents from the Falkenberg railway junction. Special exhibitions have covered topics such as 25 years of electrification at Falkenberg station and the 65th anniversary of the bombing of the station and town.
The museum occupies the former canteen of the closed Falkenberg engine shed in the lower station area, right by the Jüterbog–Röderau line. It is separate from the Loksammlung Falkenberg, with no organisational links between the two. The entrance is in the old canteen rooms, so look for the museum sign rather than the main station building.
The collection includes a model of the Falkenberg station building destroyed by bombing at the end of the Second World War. Temporary exhibitions have covered topics such as 25 years of electrification at Falkenberg station and the 100th anniversary of the Neuburxdorf–Mühlberg line.
