Guided Story

Imagine standing in one of Dresden's oldest tram depots. The air here whispers tales from the era when horse-drawn carriages roamed the streets. Look to your left; do you see the old MAN tram? These vehicles were once the backbone of Dresden's public transport. Behind you, you might notice a rare model that only operated for a few years before being replaced by newer trams. Did you know some of these trams were used as mobile hospitals during World War II? Now, if you glance forward, you can witness the dedication of the association that lovingly restored these pieces. Each tram here isn't just a mode of transport; it's a piece of living history.
