Museumsdepot Sudenburg

Museumsdepot Sudenburg is a collection of tram vehicles from different periods housed in a former transportation depot near Ambrosiusplatz. The vehicles range from late 19th-century models to early 20th-century examples and show how urban transportation developed over time.

The facility began in 1877 as a streetcar operating depot during Magdeburg's industrial growth. It later became a storage place for retired vehicles and now documents this shift from active service to preservation.

The place shows how Magdeburg preserves its transportation history and what role trams played in the city's daily life. Visitors see different vehicles that record how people moved through the city and how transportation changed over time.

The location is reachable by tram lines 1 and 10 or bus line 54, with the nearest stop at Ambrosiusplatz station. A visit works best in dry weather, since many vehicles are displayed outdoors.

The depot holds a rail grinding vehicle from 1936, specialized maintenance equipment that supported the technical infrastructure of early tram networks. This rare vehicle reveals the specialized work that kept urban transportation systems running smoothly.
