Mansfeld Mining Railway, Heritage railway in Mansfeld District, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.

The Mansfeld Mining Railway spans 11 kilometers with narrow gauge tracks of 750 millimeters, connecting multiple former mining locations in Saxony-Anhalt.

The railway network began operating in 1885, expanding from 5.5 kilometers to 95 kilometers by 1930 to service 13 copper mines and two smelteries.

The railway preserves industrial transportation methods through guided tours, exhibitions, and educational programs about mining operations in the Mansfeld region.

Visitors can access the railway from multiple stations along the route between Hettstedt and Klostermansfeld, with regular heritage train services operating on weekends.

The railway holds the distinction of operating Germany's first narrow gauge locomotive converted to heavy oil fuel in 1965.
