Historisches Bahnbetriebswerk Gera

Imagine the sound of wheels clattering on the rails. Right here at the historic Gera railway depot, locomotives were brought to life. Look to your left, and you'll see the towering water tower. It once quenched the thirst of mighty steam engines. Did you know the water tower wasn't just for storing water, but also a symbol of the railway's power and strength? Behind you is the old Reichsbahn cultural house, where stories were shared and railway festivals celebrated. Let the ambiance take you back, as steam clouds once filled the sky here decades ago. It’s a magical place that keeps the railway's history alive.
