Deutsches Feld- und Kleinbahnmuseum, Railway museum in Fredenbeck, Germany.
The Deutsches Feld- und Kleinbahnmuseum is a collection of narrow-gauge locomotives, carriages, and technical equipment spanning different 20th-century periods. The site includes operating rail lines where regular train rides run and visitors can see how these machines work in practice.
The collection preserves a Henschel locomotive from 1927 and military field railway cars from 1919. These objects document the development of German railway technology from the First World War through the mid-20th century.
The museum demonstrates how small railways served rural communities in daily operation and connects visitors with traditional railway craftsmanship. The steam-powered trains running here show the working methods that generations of railway workers mastered.
Visitors should wear sturdy shoes since the museum area has unpaved ground and conditions depend on the weather. Planning two to three hours allows time to view the locomotives and take at least one train ride.
The museum occupies a former milking shed in Lütjenkamp, where the collection includes a tool set used in railway construction and brickworks, plus a book collection and vehicle models. A kitchen sits in the front part of the shed, and part of the vehicle collection is displayed there.
