Trümmerbahn Nürnberg, Historic railway site in Forsthof, Germany.
A narrow-gauge railway system with 17 kilometers of track and 3 kilometers of service lines transported rubble through Nuremberg's districts.
Between 1946 and 1950, this railway network operated to remove debris from Nuremberg's old town, which suffered 95 percent building destruction during World War II.
The railway maintenance facility at Valznerweiher, where engines received repairs and supplies, now forms part of the 1. FC Nürnberg sports grounds.
The railway route extended from the old town through Valznerweiher and Reichsparteitagsgelände to Fischbach, using steam locomotives pulling hopper cars for debris transportation.
German prisoners of war, rather than Trümmerfrauen, performed most of the loading work, with mandatory service requiring locals aged 16-29 to contribute 50 hours.
