The Verden–Walsrode Railway (German: Verden-Walsroder Eisenbahn) or VWE is a transport company with its headquarters in Verden on the River Aller in North Germany.

Almost three quarters of its assets were taken over by the Prussian state and the Province of Hanover; the rest was divided between the districts of Verden and Fallingbostel and a few municipalities.

As well as opening up the predominantly rural region, the railway played an important role in transporting potash from the area near Groß and Klein Häuslingen until 1924.

Attempts were made from 1924 to 1959 to compensate for the loss of this freight commodity - and its associated profits - by transferring ownership of the line to the Hanover State Narrow Gauge Railway Office (Landeskleinbahnamt Hannover).

Initially it was intended to operate a museum railway on the former DB route from Verden to Rethem, which is why they chose the station at Hülsen on the line as their base.

The introduction of a Donnerbüchse coach (number 1) in 2005 finally rendered the use of the last trailer car, TA 10, superfluous.

This left Verden at the beginning of 2006, in order to act as an extra wagon for the Lüneburg Railway Society (AVL).

The first years of the museum railway society was characterised by restoring the stock they had purchased and getting them back into running order.

The railbus is currently being refurbished, two coaches, one goods wagon and the luggage van and draisine are on active duty transporting day trippers, cyclists and railway fans with increasing success at a relaxing pace through the Verden and Kirchlinteln countryside.

Platforms along the route are being rebuilt to their historic state, the station building at Stemme is being restored and many small historic 'gems' have been restored and can be seen today, such as a notice board for the former narrow gauge railway company, the Kleinbahn Verden-Walsrode, or an enamel plate advertising Mauxion Chocolate.
