Bavarian Railway Museum

As early as 1849, with the construction of the Ludwig South-North Railway from Lindau to Hof, a workshop appeared for the maintenance of steam locomotives and wagons.

A major event in its history were the air attacks during the Second World War in 1944 and 1945, when large parts of the shed were destroyed.

With the electrification of the Stuttgart–Nördlingen and the Augsburg–Nördlingen lines between Donauwörth and Aalen, and the Ingolstadt–Neuoffingen railway many of the diesel engines were dispensable, so that in 1982 the locomotive shed was closed as an independent facility.

The Bavarian Railway Museum works the route to Gunzenhausen[2] and the section from Nördlingen to Feuchtwangen[3] on the line to Dombühl with historical vehicles.

In addition, for several years impressive goods trains have been hauled in the Nördlingen area e.g. for wood and timber products.
