Alte Dreherei, Railway workshop building in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany
The Alte Dreherei features a three-nave structure with arched windows and a wooden roof construction supported by cast-iron columns spanning the entire length.
Built in 1874 for the Rhenish Railway Company, this maintenance facility serviced over 1000 steam locomotives annually until its closure in 1959.
The building now functions as a community center, hosting technical exhibitions, model railway displays, and educational programs focused on vocational training.
Visitors can access the heritage site during special events, with guided tours available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays starting at 10 AM.
The building contains an exceptional wooden suspended roof structure, with a 20-meter steel extension added in 1909 to accommodate larger machinery.
