Bicycle museum Dresden, Transport museum in Old Town, Dresden, Germany
The Transport Museum Dresden occupies the Johanneum building at Neumarkt square and displays vehicles, trains, ships, and aircraft across several floors. The collection includes over 116 railway vehicles and numerous other modes of transportation from different periods.
The museum was established in 1952 to house exhibits from the Saxon Railway Museum that had been relocated during World War II. The preservation of these objects after the war made it possible to maintain a comprehensive record of transportation history.
The collections reflect how trains and vehicles shaped daily life in the Saxon region, with many visitors connecting exhibits to family stories passed down through generations. The display allows you to understand how technological progress gradually transformed how people lived and worked.
The museum sits in a convenient location in the Old Town, with bicycle parking and car parking available nearby. Plan to spend several hours exploring the different exhibition areas on each floor.
The museum displays the Reitwagen motorcycle built by Gottlieb Daimler in 1885, considered one of the world's first motorized vehicles. This small, primitive machine marks the moment when human mobility fundamentally changed.
