Wiesloch Feldbahn and Industrial Museum

The Wiesloch Feldbahn and Industrial Museum is a railway museum on the grounds of a former brickworks displaying narrow-gauge locomotives and construction machines. The exhibits spread across outdoor areas connected by a working narrow-gauge railway that visitors can ride.

The museum sits on the site of the former Tonwaren-Industrie Wiesloch brickworks, which operated until its closure in 1989. The narrow-gauge railway on the grounds was originally built to move materials around the factory during its working years.

The collection tells the story of how the brickworks shaped daily life in this town and gave work to families over many decades. You can see today how this industry was woven into the community and what it meant for local people.

The grounds are mostly flat and can be explored on foot or by the museum train, making it accessible for visitors with varying mobility. Free parking is located nearby and visitors can easily combine their visit with other activities in town.

A working bucket chain excavator from the original factory still operates today and often goes unnoticed by many visitors. This heavy machine shows the sheer power needed to extract raw materials for brick making.
