Museum im Bahnhof Kleinkummerfeld, Railway museum in Groß Kummerfeld, Germany.
The Museum im Bahnhof Kleinkummerfeld occupies a former train station and displays locomotives, railway equipment, and historical objects from different periods. The building itself preserves the original layout and atmosphere of a working station, giving visitors a sense of how rail transportation operated in the past.
The station building opened in 1875 and served as an active railway stop until 1984, when it closed as passenger traffic declined in the region. The building was then transformed into a museum in 1986, preserving its architecture and history for future generations.
The museum documents how rail transportation shaped daily life in Schleswig-Holstein through photographs, models, and original equipment from different periods. Visitors can see how the railway connected communities and influenced regional development over generations.
The museum sits along the Neumuenster-Bad Oldeslohe railway line and welcomes visitors throughout the year with guided tours available for groups. Plan ahead by checking hours of operation, as the museum does not open every day and group visits may require advance notice.
The building retains much of its original 19th-century interior layout, allowing visitors to walk through spaces that look much as they did when trains still stopped here. This preservation of the everyday infrastructure often surprises guests who expect a more traditional museum setup.
