Verkehrsmuseum Karlsruhe, Transport and automobile museum in Karlsruhe, Germany.

Verkehrsmuseum Karlsruhe occupies a former electrical-appliance factory in the Südstadt district, run by volunteers of the Deutsche Verkehrswacht. Its departments display historic bicycles, motorcycles and cars, railway models, and the Faller Car-System layout under construction since 1997, with Karlsruhe trams and buses.

Founded on 11 October 1924 by Otto Ammann as part of the Technische Hochschule Karlsruhe, the museum began with exhibits of the former Baden State Railway, including 1:10 scale models built between 1910 and 1914 by apprentices of the Karlsruhe repair works. A bomb destroyed the Zeughaus on 27 September 1944, but the railway models survived because they had been moved outside the city. Since 1969 the collection has occupied a former electrical appliance factory in the Südstadt.

The museum is run by volunteers of the Deutsche Verkehrswacht in the city and district of Karlsruhe, which has been its supporting body since 1971. Its collection grew from exhibits of the former Baden state railway, including 1:10 scale models of the first Baden train and Baden locomotives built between 1910 and 1914 by apprentices of the Karlsruhe repair works.

The museum occupies a former electrical-appliance factory in the Südstadt district, where it has been housed since 1969; the building was only meant as a temporary home. It is run on an honorary basis by the Deutsche Verkehrswacht, so opening times are limited and worth checking before you travel. The 1983–1984 renovation enlarged the exhibition area.

The model railway in H0 gauge was built in the 1960s and was added to the collection shortly after the museum opened in the Südstadt, with support from the city. A separate Faller Car System layout has been under construction since 1997, largely electromechanically controlled, running Karlsruhe trams and buses alongside converted static models.
