Railroad Museum Schwarzwald

Railroad Museum Schwarzwald in Schramberg is a railway museum with multiple exhibition halls full of historical locomotives, railway equipment, and technical documents from different periods of German rail history. The collections show how railway technology and operations developed over time.

The museum was founded in 2012 to preserve the railway heritage of the Black Forest region through a collection of original vehicles and engineering objects. The exhibitions focus on the transportation history of this mountainous area and its railway technical characteristics.

The museum shows how railways transformed life in Black Forest communities through photographs and personal stories of railroad workers. Visitors can understand the daily experiences of these people and their importance to the region's development.

The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, with extended hours from March to October until 18:00. Visitors should check ahead as opening times may vary depending on the season.
