The Bahnwelt 2025 calendar is here!

Following the success of the first edition for the current year, there is now also a calendar for 2025 with twelve unique and carefully selected images of historic railway vehicles in the authentic setting of the railway museum.

With its 12 motifs of selected railway vehicles, the calendar not only represents the diversity of the railway museum’s exhibits. The mere fact that locomotives and carriages can be presented in the authentic railway atmosphere of a depot that has remained virtually unchanged for decades is an unrivalled added value that fascinates both first-time visitors and regulars at events time and again.

We would like to thank everyone who supports the voluntary work of the members of the railway museum by purchasing the calendar! The calendar will be available from 24 November 2024 for € 25.00 in the museum shop and from now on in the Bahnwelt online shop plus € 10 shipping costs (shipping from 24 November).
