The Straßenbahnmuseum Leipzig, located in the historic depot on Apelstraße, offers a vivid journey through more than 125 years of public transport history in the city. Operated by the association Historische Nahverkehrsmittel Leipzig e.V., the museum preserves an impressive collection of 39 original tramcars dating from 1896 to 2004, many of them lovingly restored to working condition. Alongside passenger vehicles, the collection also includes technical and special-purpose trams, equipment, and even selected buses, providing a comprehensive picture of Leipzig’s urban mobility. On open days from May to September, visitors can not only explore the exhibition halls but also enjoy nostalgic rides on historic trams, bringing the city’s transport heritage to life on the streets. The museum’s setting in a former depot adds to its authentic atmosphere, while souvenirs, books, and special events enrich the experience. By combining preservation, education, and living history, the Straßenbahnmuseum Leipzig keeps the story of the city’s trams alive for future generations.
Leipzig GermanyThe Straßenbahnmuseum Leipzig is located at Apelstraße 1, 04129 Leipzig, in the northern district of the city. It is housed in the historic tram depot and features an extensive collection of historic trams and public transport vehicles from 1896 to the 1990s, many of which are operational.
