Görlitzer Oldtimer Parkeisenbahn, Narrow-gauge railway in Görlitz, Germany.
Görlitzer Oldtimer Parkeisenbahn is a narrow-gauge railway where a replica locomotive travels on 600mm-gauge tracks through a leisure park beside Landskron Brau-Manufaktur brewery. The line connects multiple stops across the grounds, showcasing restored station buildings and vintage carriages from different periods.
Established in 1976, the railway was among the first park railways in East Germany, supported by more than 80 local companies. This community backing transformed the project into a shared endeavor that has persisted for decades.
The railway reflects a local passion for preserving mechanical skills and railway heritage through hands-on experience. Visitors witness volunteers and operators sharing their knowledge with each generation that rides the tracks.
The best time to visit is during the warmer months from March through October when regular service operates. The location sits close to the brewery and is easily walkable from central Görlitz.
The locomotives and carriages are precise replicas of the first German railway line that ran between Nuremberg and Fürth starting in 1835. These vehicles were originally built by Waggonbau Görlitz, a local manufacturer with a long history of rail vehicle production.
