Betriebshof Eckenheim

Betriebshof Eckenheim, Public transport depot in Eckenheim district, Frankfurt, Germany.

Betriebshof Eckenheim is a tram depot at Schwabstraße 16 in the Eckenheim district of Frankfurt, opened in 1911. Its hall holds 30 covered tracks, some of which can be closed against the weather. In 1956 the rear wall was partly removed and the tracks extended onto the open ground behind, enlarging the storage area.

Established in 1911, this depot was the only tram facility in Frankfurt to survive World War II bombing raids without damage. This preservation allowed it to become a crucial site for maintaining records and vehicles from the city's transit history.

The depot is the headquarters of the Historische Straßenbahn der Stadt Frankfurt am Main (HSF), the association that also runs the Schwanheim transport museum. The VGF holds its lost-property auctions here, and on 3–4 September 2022 the depot hosted the "150 Jahre Straßenbahn in Frankfurt am Main" festival.

The depot functions primarily as a working facility rather than a public museum with standard visiting hours. Special tours and open-house events organized by the Historical Tram Association offer the best opportunities to see the trains and learn about the operation.

Two Frankfurt-Offenbacher Trambahn-Gesellschaft cars and a horse-drawn tram of the Frankfurter Trambahn-Gesellschaft were stored under tarpaulins at the depot through World War II. In 1950 driving instructor Ernst Lebek rediscovered them out of curiosity; they are now in the Transport Museum in Schwanheim.
