Bergische Museumsbahnen e.V.

Can you hear the gentle hum of history in the air? Take a moment to look around. Behind you, a little to the west, is the Kohlfurther Bridge. But right here, you're standing at a unique piece of living history. Did you know this is the smallest licensed tramway operation in Germany? Over a hundred years ago, trams like these were the lifeline of urban travel. Imagine people in their Sunday best, eagerly waiting for their ride here. The Bergische Museumsbahnen is run by a passionate group of volunteers who breathe life back into these historical vehicles. Each tram tells its own story, and if you look closely, you can see decades of change and innovation etched into their frames.
