Hessen's largest railway museum has been located in the former Kranichstein railway depot since 1970. Find out interesting facts about our more than 200 historic vehicles and the numerous other exhibitions on the fascination of the railway.
We, the Bahnwelt Darmstadt-Kranichstein, are the umbrella organisation of railway clubs in Darmstadt with the aim of preserving and presenting the history of the railway in the Darmstadt area and making it an experience for future generations.
Hold your family or company celebration in a unique ambience between old steam engines weighing tons. Or are you looking for a special location for your photo shooting? With us you are guaranteed to find the right setting.
