The Frankfurter Feldbahnmuseum in Frankfurt am Main offers a unique glimpse into the history of industrial narrow-gauge railways, known as Feldbahnen. Located on the site of a former marshalling yard in the Rebstock area, the museum preserves and operates historic locomotives and wagons that once served agriculture, mining, construction, and military logistics. Its collection includes steam, diesel, and electric engines, many of which are still functional and used for demonstration rides on the museum’s own track. Visitors can explore workshops, restored vehicles, and learn about the technical and social aspects of field railway operations. The museum is run by dedicated volunteers who maintain the exhibits and share their expertise during special events and open days. With its hands-on approach and authentic setting, the Frankfurter Feldbahnmuseum appeals to railway enthusiasts, families, and anyone curious about the role of small-gauge railways in shaping industrial history. It is a living museum where history rolls on steel rails.
