Modellbahnwelt Oberhausen, Model railroad exhibition near CentrO, Oberhausen, Germany.
Modellbahnwelt Oberhausen is a model railroad exhibition featuring a large layout that recreates a regional industrial landscape. Thousands of buildings, vehicles, and figures bring this miniature world to life.
The exhibition opened in 2008 and depicts the Ruhr region as it appeared between 1965 and 1970. This period captured the industrial activity and daily life that defined the area during that era.
The exhibition displays miniature versions of recognizable local landmarks, including Villa Hügel and Oberhausen's Gasometer. Visitors can spot familiar buildings and places they may recognize from their own experience.
The exhibition is centrally located and easily accessible by public transport. The venue provides ample space to walk around and explore different areas of the layout.
The entire layout cycles through a day-night transition every 30 minutes, with the display briefly plunging into darkness. This recurring rhythm creates a distinctive visual experience during your visit.
