Description [EN]
Halfway between Hamburg and Berlin lies the Prignitz region. In the past, a narrow-gauge local railway connected the towns of Kyritz, Breddin, Glöwen, Havelberg, Perleberg, and Pritzwalk. At the center of this small railway network was the former junction of Lindenberg.
The narrow-gauge railway ensured connections to the standard-gauge railways, which led out into the wider world. Agricultural goods were transported primarily, but a modest level of passenger service was also part of daily operations. After its opening in 1897, the railway experienced many ups and downs until its closure in 1969 and 1971.
The museum presents the technology of a bygone era of the railway affectionately known by the local population as the "Pollo," thereby preserving a piece of regional history. On the museum railway, which was rebuilt by 2007, regular operations with steam and diesel locomotives also take place.
