German Steam Locomotive Museum

German Steam Locomotive Museum, Railway museum in Neuenmarkt, Germany.

Description

The German Steam Locomotive Museum is a railway museum in Neuenmarkt at Neuenmarkt-Wirsberg railway depot, featuring a large roundhouse. The locomotive shed holds around 30 steam locomotives and includes a turntable and water cranes for servicing the machines.

History

The locomotive shed was built in 1895 by the Royal Bavarian State Railways and expanded in 1923 by the German Reich Railways. The building became a museum in 1977, preserving an important chapter of railway history.

Culture

The museum displays locomotives from different periods of German railway history, arranged within the roundhouse. Visitors can observe the varying designs and technical developments of these machines as they walk through.

Practical

The museum is open year-round, but operating hours vary by season. Plan enough time to walk through the entire roundhouse and observe the many details of the displayed machines.

Did you know?

The museum offers train journeys on working steam locomotives, taking visitors from Neuenmarkt to nearby destinations such as Mönchshof Brewery. These working trips form the core experience and transform it beyond a static display.
