Do voluntary work
From the very beginning, the museum association has drawn its strength from the voluntary work of its members. They are not necessarily railwaymen, but lovers of the railway and its atmosphere and work in many different professions… as engineers, mechanics, cooks, lathe operators, accountants, draughtsmen, carpenters, lawyers, computer scientists and many more.
The voluntary activities in the association are as varied as the backgrounds of the volunteers. They are not limited to the maintenance and restoration of the locomotives and carriages, but also include many other tasks and projects such as the renovation of the buildings, garden maintenance and archive or public relations work. In addition, members guide visitors through the vehicle collection on opening days and perform a wide variety of railway-related services on special trips, e.g. locomotive driver, stoker or conductor. So there is something for everyone!
In order to pass on the knowledge of technology to the next generation, we would like to address young people in particular with our leisure activities. Participation in the “MoBaTrain” is possible from the age of 14, and at the “big railway” from the age of 16.
To volunteer at the museum, join the Museumsbahn e.V..
It might be helpful if you have at least a basic knowledge of the German language.
