Description
If you follow the Industrial Route westwards in Chemnitz along Zwickauer Straße, you will find an old track layout on the property at number 164 that recalls the era of the Chemnitz narrow-gauge tramway. In a tram depot dating from 1908, the Straßenbahnmuseum Chemnitz (Chemnitz Tram Museum) houses relics from a bygone age. Our tram museum is a living museum. Would you like to know how a tram controller is operated or how a fare box works?
Then come to the Christmas market at the tram museum on 5 December 2025.
On this day you will not only get mulled wine, but also the answers to the questions above – and you can even try it out for yourself.

In the exhibition you will find out why the Chemnitz narrow-gauge trams ran on the unusual gauge of 925 mm, why an Englishman built the city's first horse-drawn tram line, how a tram "works" and much more.
Mulled wine and Advent rides in historic tramcars.
