Kinderstraßenbahn Frankfurt am Main, Miniature rideable railway in Grüneburgpark, Frankfurt, Germany.
The Kinderstraßenbahn is a rideable miniature railway in Grüneburgpark that carries children around a training course. The line runs on an oval track about 220 meters long with real traffic signals and railway crossings that make the experience feel authentic.
The vehicle was built in 1960 at Frankfurt's municipal workshop and copies the design of the Type K streetcar that once ran throughout the city. This way, the miniature tram preserves a piece of Frankfurt's transportation history in small scale.
The miniature tram operates as Line 1 and introduces children to how public transportation works in a hands-on way. It sits at the heart of a space where young visitors learn to move safely through traffic.
The train moves slowly at a maximum of 5 kilometers per hour, making it safe for young passengers. Check opening times beforehand, as the railway only runs at certain times and during specific seasons.
The vehicle weighs only about 750 kilograms and receives technical support from Frankfurt Transport Company. What makes it special is a branch line leading to a storage facility, showing how real streetcars also have maintenance routes.
