Bahnbetriebswerk Nürnberg West

Bahnbetriebswerk Nürnberg West, Railway maintenance facility in Gostenhof district, Nuremberg, Germany

Bahnbetriebswerk Nürnberg West is a railway maintenance facility in the Gostenhof district with several large workshop halls of varying sizes. These halls serve today for the maintenance of S-Bahn trains and other regional trains operated by Deutsche Bahn.

The site opened in 1869 as the Betriebswerkstätte Nürnberg Centralbahnhof, completed in 1875 at a construction cost of about four million marks; some 900 workers maintained 160 locomotives, 910 passenger and 2,100 freight cars a year. A separate locomotive department west of it became Bw Nürnberg Hbf, enlarged in 1929 with halls for railcars and in 1934 with electric locomotive halls. Air raids in 1945 destroyed the right roundhouse; the left one burned down on 17 October 2005, damaging 19 historic vehicles.

The name changed with the operator: Bw Nürnberg Hbf until 1980, then Bw Nürnberg 1, and since the 1994 railway reform Bw Nürnberg West under DB Regio. The site is a working depot, not a museum; the surviving left ring shed served as a store for the DB Museum until the fire of 17 October 2005.

The site is a working DB Regio workshop, not open to visitors; the grounds lie north of the Nuremberg–Bamberg line between the Rothenburger Straße stop and the disused Neusündersbühl halt. The halls and the 2013 underfloor wheel lathe can only be seen from outside, along the Austraße in Gostenhof.

The left ring shed survived the war and from 1994 housed the DB Museum's locomotive depot. A fire on 17 October 2005 destroyed it and damaged or destroyed 19 historic locomotives and railcars; the remains were demolished in June 2006. The site was then replaced in 2011 and 2013 by the new Regio workshop.
