Leipzig Tramway Museum

Located in a part of the former Wittenberger Straße depot, the tramway museum houses a comprehensive collection of exhibits illustrating the history of Leipzig's public transport. These include 39 tramway cars for passenger transport built from 1896 to 2004, which have been restored to their original state and are in working order, for the most part. In addition, the museum's collection includes numerous special and technical vehicles, equipment and a selection of non-rail vehicles (e.g. buses). Line No. 21E, a special tramway line, runs every hour to take visitors from downtown Leipzig to our museum, located on Apelstraße street. On the opening days, you can even enjoy a special trip on a historic vehicle departing from the museum premises.
