Kinderstraßenbahn Frankfurt am Main, Rideable miniature railway in Frankfurt am Main, Germany

The Kinderstraßenbahn is a miniature tram in the Jugendverkehrsgarten, a youth traffic garden at the edge of Grüneburgpark on Siesmayerstraße. Its 220-metre oval track, built in May 1960 with a gauge of 410 mm, crosses a functioning traffic light and has a branch to a storage shed. The single car is a scaled copy of Frankfurt's Type K tram.

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 single car is a scaled copy of Frankfurt's Type K tram, the model used by the Ebbelwei-Expreß. A switch off the 220-metre oval leads into a shed inside the Jugendverkehrsgarten building, where the car is kept. Power comes from truck batteries at 24 volts, enough for almost eight hours of continuous running.
