The German Steam Locomotive Museum, also known as Deutsches Dampflokomotiv-Museum (DDM), is situated in a scenic location at the base of the Schiefe Ebene ramp on the Ludwig South-North Railway. This is in the town of Neuenmarkt, which is part of Upper Franconia, a region in northern Bavaria, Germany. The museum's location adds to its charm and makes it an interesting destination for tourists.
Exhibits at the German Steam Locomotive Museum
The German Steam Locomotive Museum is home to around 30 steam locomotives. These include a Bavarian S 3/6 express engine, a Bavarian PtL 2/2 (a tiny tank engine known as the Glaskasten, literally: 'glass box', the only complete surviving member of its class), a Prussian P 8 passenger train engine, and a Saxon XIV HT. These exhibits offer a unique opportunity for visitors to explore the history and evolution of steam locomotives.
Trips Operated by the German Steam Locomotive Museum
During the summer, the German Steam Locomotive Museum operates trips over the Schiefe Ebene from Neuenmarkt-Wirsberg to Marktschorgast and the Mönchshof Brewery at Kulmbach. A Class 796 Uerdingen railbus is kept at the museum for these services, and steam locomotives are also used. This offers visitors a unique opportunity to experience a journey on a historic steam locomotive.
