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.
So vielfältig wie die Hintergründe der Mitarbeiter, so abwechslungsreich sind auch die ehrenamtlichen Tätigkeiten im Verein. Sie beschränken sich nicht nur auf die Pflege und Restaurierung der Loks und Wagen, sondern umfassen auch viele weitere Aufgaben und Projekte wie die Renovierungen der Gebäude, Gartenpflege und Archiv- oder Öffentlichkeitsarbeit. Darüber hinaus führen die Mitglieder des die Besucher an Öffnungstagen durch die Fahrzeugsammlung des Eisenbahn- oder Straßenbahnmuseums und erbringen an Sonderfahrten verschiedenste eisenbahnbetriebliche Dienste, z. B. Lokführer, Heizer oder Schaffner. Somit ist bei uns für jeden etwas dabei!
In order to pass on knowledge of the technology to the next generation, we would like to appeal to young people in particular with our leisure activities. Children aged 14 and above can join the model building group, and those aged 16 and above can join the “big railway” group.
To volunteer at the Railway Museum, join the Museumsbahn e. V. association. Simply drop by on Saturdays from 10 a.m. at the museum grounds at Steinstraße 7, 64291 Darmstadt, speak to us at one of our events or send an email to info@bahnwelt.de.
If you would like to actively participate in the Museum Tram, please contact the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Historische HEAG-Fahrzeuge e. V. (information@historische-heag-fahrzeuge.de).
