Nahverkehrsmuseum Kleinbahnhof Wohldorf, Railway museum in Wohldorf, Hamburg, Germany.
The Nahverkehrsmuseum occupies a former freight dispatch building and displays original components, documents, models, and photographs from Hamburg's transportation history. The site shows how the electric small railway operated between 1907 and 1961, with details about the building's role and the infrastructure that supported it.
The building was constructed in 1907 as the terminal for an electric small railway that connected Hamburg's enclaves within Prussian territory. The line closed in 1961 when political and geographical boundaries shifted.
The museum shows how Hamburg residents used public transport over decades and how this infrastructure became part of their daily lives. Visitors can understand the importance of the small railway in connecting communities and shaping how people moved around.
A visit works best on Sundays when the museum is open and both the building and outdoor area are fully accessible to explore. Comfortable shoes are recommended since you will walk through different sections to see all the exhibits and the tram car outside.
A distinctive feature is the scale model railway display that recreates the original electric line in miniature, showing how the entire network actually looked. This detailed recreation allows visitors to grasp the full infrastructure in a compressed form.
