The Neustadt/Weinstrasse Railway Museum, also known as Eisenbahnmuseum Neustadt/Weinstraße, is one of two railway museums managed by the German Railway History Company, also known as Deutsche Gesellschaft für Eisenbahngeschichte or DGEG. This museum is a significant part of Germany's railway history and offers a unique insight into the country's railway heritage.
Location and History of the Museum
The Neustadt/Weinstrasse Railway Museum is situated in the historic locomotive shed of the Palatinate Railway. This shed was constructed during the earliest days of the railways in what was then known as the Bavarian Palatinate or Pfalz. The engine shed has been preserved and remains largely in its original condition, providing a glimpse into the past.
Exhibits at the Neustadt/Weinstrasse Railway Museum
The Neustadt/Weinstrasse Railway Museum primarily focuses on the vehicles of the former state railways in southern Germany. Notably, it houses the two remaining examples of steam locomotives from the era of the Palatine Railways, the T 1 Schaidt and a Palatine T 5, both preserved in their original state. Additionally, a replica of an express train locomotive from the early railway period, known as Die Pfalz, and a Crampton engine are on display.
