Feldbahn-Museum 500 e.V.

Imagine standing amidst a living history book made of steel and steam. Look over to your left – do you see that old locomotive with the worn wheels? It probably hauled thousands of tons of coal or ore, keeping entire industries running. Can you hear the faint clatter of the tracks? Close your eyes, and you might almost hear the echoes of a bygone era when these trains puffed across Europe's landscapes. Behind you, there's an exhibit on narrow-gauge railways during World War I – a chapter often overlooked. These small trains were the unsung heroes, providing vital supply lines to hard-to-reach areas. And here's a surprising tidbit: these railways were even used in exotic locations like sugarcane plantations in the Caribbean. So dive in and let the stories on the rails come to life.
