Saxon Railway Museum Chemnitz-Hilbersdorf
Sächsisches Eisenbahnmuseum
A well-preserved former marshalling yard with fan-shaped engine sheds and turntables, where dozens of steam locomotives and turntable operations can be seen.
This is the former Hilbersdorf marshalling yard. It preserves two fan-shaped engine houses, a turntable and a GDR-era signal box, and houses steam, diesel and electric locomotives. The museum is run by a volunteer association. Summer weekends often bring locomotives under steam, narrow-gauge trains and open-day events, which railway enthusiasts will love. Adult admission is about 8 euros. It is closed in winter. It is in the northeast of the city, about 20 minutes by bus.
Opening hours
Apr–Nov, Tue–Sun 10:00 am–5:00 pm
