Information in English

The Railway Museum Bochum is the largest private railway collection in Germany. It is chiefly maintained and enlarged by volunteers. Since 1977 the museum is located in a former railway depot built during World War I. Its most striking features are the roundhouse with 14 tracks and the water tower (still in use).
On the 46.000 sqm area over 120 vehicles are displayed. They give a comprehensive overview over the development of German locomotives and carriages from 1853 up to the present. Besides important and trend-setting locomotive construction types also significant coaches and freight waggons are preserved. Many exhibits are considered rarities because they have been saved rarely from scrapping or even are the only preserved exemplar.

On Sundays and public holidays a lever handcar and a light railway (600 mm gauge) are at your service. Also free guided tours are offered. A historic railbus shuttle provides connection to the public transport system at Bochum-Dahlhausen S-Bahnhof.
