Hans-Peter Porsche TraumWerk, Technology museum in Anger, Germany
Description
Hans-Peter Porsche TraumWerk is a technology museum in Anger that displays more than 2,100 tin toys and model vehicles alongside a 400-square-meter model railway system featuring 180 trains running across three kilometers of track. The building itself is shaped like a horizontal figure-eight, a design that mirrors classic racetrack and miniature train layouts.
History
Hans-Peter Porsche created this collection to document toys from 1860 to 1930, a timeframe that captures the shift from handcrafted production to early industrial manufacturing in Europe. The pieces preserve how engineering and design evolved during this transformative period.
Culture
The collection represents toys and miniature vehicles from a period when European craftsmanship flourished, showing how people once imagined and played with miniature versions of transportation and industry. These pieces reveal what fascinated families and collectors across generations.
Practical
The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday and offers wheelchair-accessible facilities throughout the building. A restaurant serving regional cuisine and a specialized shop for collectibles are located on the premises for visitor convenience.
Did you know?
The model railway system can operate up to 40 trains at the same time, creating a complex and coordinated display that few miniature train layouts achieve. This simultaneous operation showcases the technical precision behind the installation.
