Nuremberg-Langwasser, Heritage railway station in Langwasser, Germany
Nuremberg-Langwasser is a heritage railway goods station in the city with seven platform tracks managed by DB Netz AG. The facility connects to the Nuremberg Ring Railway and handles regional freight transport.
The station opened in 1938 and was originally built as part of a large-scale event infrastructure in Nazi Germany. After World War II, it converted to civilian freight operations.
The station stands as an architectural heritage monument in Bavaria, reflecting the railway infrastructure development of mid-twentieth century Germany.
The site is part of the active railway system and primarily used for freight operations, so visitors should be cautious and respect private property boundaries. Planning ahead with local information helps ensure safe and appropriate access.
The station received its current name in 1957, marking a deliberate break from its earlier past. The name change from Nuremberg-Märzfeld reflected an attempt to distance itself from historical associations.
