Steinhuder Meer-Bahn e.V.

Open-air museum
Discover the Steinhuder Meer narrow-gauge railway’s heritage through historic wagons, photos, and stories from its 50 km route to Steinhude.
Once connecting the surrounding towns with the idyllic lakeside village of Steinhude, the narrow-gauge Steinhuder Meer-Bahn carried countless holidaymakers along its roughly 50-kilometre route. Today, its legacy lives on in a lovingly curated exhibition that brings the region’s transport history vividly to life. Visitors can discover original wagons, historical photographs and engaging displays that reveal the railway’s vital role in the development of Steinhude as a popular holiday destination. The exhibition invites guests of all ages to explore how an ambitious rail link once shaped leisure travel around the Steinhuder Meer. Combining nostalgia, culture and local heritage, the Steinhuder Meer-Bahn e.V. makes history tangible and offers a fascinating glimpse into the golden age of rail tourism in Lower Saxony.
