12.10.2024: Autumn steam in the historic locomotive shed in Wittenberge

On 12 and 13 October 2024, steam locomotive enthusiasts will be celebrating their traditional Autumn Steam Days at the Historic Engine Shed in Wittenberge. There will once again be plenty to marvel at and experience, as the Brandenburg's largest railway museum will once again be steaming and dieselising. The railway enthusiasts are particularly looking forward to a visit from the Press Group's steam locomotive 86 1744, which some visitors to the Baltic Sea may remember from their last visit to Rügen or Usedom last summer.
It and the museum's vehicles are available for viewing and for cab rides. Those who prefer a more leisurely pace can take a ride in an old passenger coach from the beginning of the last century on a circuit through the museum grounds, take a ride on the turntable or drive a muscle-driven trolley. Of course, there will also be plenty of refreshments on offer. The volunteer fire brigade will once again be providing support with its home-made pea soup.
The museum is open from 10:00 a.m. on both days and closes its doors at 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays and 4:00 p.m. on Sundays. Tickets are available online via the museum's website (www.dampflok-wittenberge.de) and on site for €8 (adults) and €4 (children aged between 5 and 14). A family ticket for € 20 is available for families.
Photo enthusiasts will have the opportunity to capture some staged scenes from everyday operations on film or chip after the end of the public visiting hours on Saturday 12 October 24. During the blue hour at dusk from 5.30 pm, locomotives and staff will strike a pose. However, a separate admission ticket is sold for this at a price of € 40, which is available at the entrance to the museum.overview
