Reconditioning 98 727: Sparda promotion campaign “United for your club!”

We would like to thank you very much!
For 11,155 votes and thus for 24th place in the sponsorship campaign “United for your club!” 2016 of the Sparda-Bank Hessen. Thanks to your active support, we will receive important 2,000 € for the restoration of the 98 727 “Zuckersusi”.
On Saturday, 03.12.2016, we were pleased to welcome the representatives of Sparda-Bank Hessen at the Railway Museum. Fittingly in front of the “Zuckersusi” and in the presence of some uniform wearers, the first chairman of the Museumsbahn e. V. and museum director Uwe Breitmeier and the treasurer Uwe Auth accepted the donation check for 2,000 €.
At this point we would like to thank you again for your great support in this action and the Sparda-Bank Hessen for the generous donation!

What was it about?
Every year, Sparda-Bank Hessen organizes the sponsorship campaign “Vereint für Deinen Verein! The bank offers 30x € 2,000 to support Hessian association projects in various categories. From 09.12. to 12.11.2016, it was possible to vote for the preferred project. We participated in the campaign with the project “Zuckersusi soll wieder dampfen!”
