The Maschinenhaus Löbau is a railway museum situated in the station of Löbau, Saxony. It is located on the site of the former railway depot, providing visitors with a unique insight into the history and development of the railway industry in the region. The museum is managed by the Ostsächsische Eisenbahnfreunde (OSEF), a group of East Saxon railway enthusiasts.
Löbau's railway history dates back to December 1846 when it received its first railway connection during the construction of the Görlitz-Dresden railway line. This significant development was carried out by the Sächsisch-Schlesische Eisenbahngesellschaft (SSE), marking a pivotal moment in the town's transportation history.
One of the key features of the Maschinenhaus Löbau is its rectangular locomotive shed. This structure houses three parallel tracks, each with two locomotive stands arranged one behind the other. This setup provides a fascinating glimpse into the operational aspects of the railway industry during its heyday.
