Technik-Museum Kassel, Technical museum in Rothenditmold, Kassel, Germany.
The Technik-Museum Kassel is a technical museum housed in a former factory and displays machines, tools, and vehicles documenting the region's industrial and transportation history. Collections span multiple exhibition halls with focus on locomotives and railway engineering.
The museum was established in 2010 and occupies the site of the Henschel factory, where locomotives were manufactured from the 1800s onward. This factory was a center of German railway industry for decades and shaped the city's industrial character.
The museum reflects how the region built its identity through industrial craftsmanship and locomotive manufacturing, where railways shaped economic life for generations. Visitors see tools and machines that still tell this working story today.
The museum occupies the former Henschel-Werk II on Wolfhager Straße 109 in the Rothenditmold district of Kassel. The Henschelmuseum sits in building R 11 on the same grounds, so allow time to cross between the main halls and that separate building.
The collection includes a model railway depicting Bebra station as it stood in 1958, listed among the museum's thematic areas. Special exhibitions have brought other subjects into the halls: in 2012 vehicles by Ernst Neumann-Neander, motorcycles and automobiles, and in 2017 space photographs by Sebastian Voltmer.
