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 is open Wednesday through Sunday and can be explored independently. Visitors should plan for several hours to experience the various exhibition areas.
The museum displays a detailed 1958 model of Bebra railway station and a full-size wooden replica of Henschel's first locomotive from 1848. These models offer insight into railway technology development and the company's engineering pride.
