DB Museum Halle

The DB Museum Halle occupies a historical engine shed and displays around 20 railway vehicles from different decades. The collection includes steam, electric, and diesel locomotives that represent various periods of railway development.

The museum opened in 2003 and houses the steam locomotive 89 1004, built more than 100 years ago. This locomotive is the last surviving example of its type, showing the engineering standards of that era.

The collection displays locomotives from the Deutsche Reichsbahn era that operated in East German railway service. Visitors can see how rail transport shaped daily life and commerce in the eastern part of the country during that period.

The museum is typically open on Saturdays and located at Volkmannstrasse 39. Visitors should check ahead for special opening times or events that might affect regular visiting hours.

The museum houses locomotive 52 4900, which was rebuilt after World War II to burn pulverized coal. It is the last remaining example of this particular conversion and represents innovative adaptations from the postwar period.
