Oldtimer Museum Rügen, Transportation museum in Binz, Germany.
Oldtimer Museum Rügen, formerly the Rügen Railway and Technology Museum, occupies a hall and open-air yard beside Prora station on the Lietzow–Binz line. Its locomotives come mainly from the Deutsche Reichsbahn, among them 03 002 dressed in the streamlined casing rebuilt at the Meiningen works, 44 397, 50 3703 and the Soviet P36-123. Cars, lorries, fire engines and tractors fill out the collection.
The museum occupies a protected building from the 1930s, originally constructed as a leisure facility during the Nazi era. The site was later repurposed and now preserves the history of transportation technology.
The collection reflects how cars developed differently in East and West Germany, showing the design choices and engineering approaches of each tradition. Walking through, you notice how political division shaped what people drove and how vehicles were made.
The museum sits near Prora station on the Lietzow–Binz line, in the museum section of the protected KdF complex. Exhibits fill a hall given as 4,000 m² in one source and 10,000 m² in another, plus an open-air area, so allow time for both indoor and outdoor displays.
The collection includes a steam-driven rotary snow plough and a Culemeyer heavy trailer pulled by a Kaelble K633 tractor, equipment for moving rail vehicles by road. Locomotive 03 002 is displayed disguised as 03 193, with a streamlined casing rebuilt at the Meiningen repair works. A Soviet P36-123 steam locomotive is also on show.
