Bahnbetriebswerk Neumünster, Railway depot in Neumünster, Germany.

Bahnbetriebswerk Neumünster is a railway maintenance depot in northern Germany with multiple service buildings, a turntable, and facilities designed for servicing steam and diesel locomotives. The complex preserves these historical vehicles and demonstrates how trains were repaired and maintained.

The depot was established in the 1840s during construction of the Altona-Kiel railway line and expanded continuously until its operations ended in 1988. It illustrates how critical this infrastructure was for railway operations in northern Germany.

The site draws people interested in railway history, who come to see preserved locomotives and understand how trains shaped German industrial development. It reflects the pride once felt in maintaining these machines with care and precision.

Visitors can explore the workshops and vehicles where specialists maintain historical trains throughout the site. It is best to allow time to walk through all the areas and take in the different buildings and preserved machines.

A remarkable feature is the functional turntable from the early 1900s that is still used to rotate locomotives for repair work. This rare working component gives visitors a practical look at how daily operations once functioned.
