A Journey Through Braunschweig with the Historical Steam Train: A Time Travel on Tracks

On September 6, 2026, Braunschweig invites you to a special city tour: With the steam locomotive "Braunschweig", built in 1925, and historical cars from the period of 1878 to 1930, guests will experience a ride that impressively combines the history of technology, urban feeling, and railway romance.

A Journey with Tangible History

The tours start at the Braunschweig main train station and lead through Gliesmarode, Lünischteich, and the marshalling yard to the locomotive park. There will be about an hour for refreshments, photos, and a look at the driver's cab of the historical locomotive. The entire ride lasts about 2.5 hours and ends back at the main station.

Locomotive Park, Steam Locomotive, and Vivacious Railway Culture

The Locomotive Park Braunschweig is considered a vibrant place of railway culture. The Braunschweiger Verkehrsfreunde association maintains historical vehicles there and has made special train operations experienceable for decades. This makes the ride not only an excursion but an authentic discovery experience with local history and technical heritage.

Comfort, Atmosphere, and Pre-Sale
