Döbeln Tramway

It is the only horse-drawn tram line to operate on its original urban route in Germany, and one of only a handful in the world.

The Döbeln Tramway was built in 1892 and connected the town's railway station with its market square until 1926, when it was replaced by a bus.

Occasional suggestions to restore the line surfaced over the years of closure but, until the beginning of the 21st century, no action was taken.

As part of this work, the opportunity was taken to relay 800 metres (2,625 ft) of track from Obermarkt to Theatre.

A former Meißen tram dating from 1899, and used for the last 30 years as a henhouse, was acquired and restored as Döbeln Tramway 1.
