Dieringhausen Railway Museum

The Dieringhausen Railway Museum encompasses 11,000 square meters with a locomotive roundhouse containing twelve tracks and a functional turntable for railway equipment display.

The museum opened in 1982 within a former Deutsche Bundesbahn locomotive depot, which gained protected monument status for its architectural significance in North Rhine-Westphalia.

The museum maintains twenty-six locomotives, including eleven steam engines, eleven diesel engines, and four electric locomotives that represent German railway engineering evolution.

Visitors can access reference materials about railway history in the museum bookshop and enjoy refreshments at the on-site cafeteria during their exploration.

The museum features original steam depot equipment and operational technology that demonstrates the mechanical processes of historical railway maintenance.
