Frühlingsfest im Bw Schöneweide

In the organizer's words:

On Saturday, April 25, and Sunday, April 26, the historic Schöneweide depot opens its doors and invites young and old railroad fans to a spring festival. The Dampflokfreunde Berlin e.V. will be exhibiting more than 20 locomotives and carriages, including steam locomotives of the 03, 35, 52 and 74 series. Historic locomotives and carriages will be on display for photo opportunities in front of the engine shed and in the open-air grounds.

Hands-on railroad

Everyone can take the driver's seat and have a look at the locomotive boiler or the huge engines of the modern locomotives. Those who prefer to watch the engine driver at work can take a ride in the driver's cab of a diesel or steam locomotive. On a tour of the large engine shed, visitors can learn all about the locomotive workshop from their grandfather's day. A steam locomotive from 1944 is currently being repaired there.

There is a model train exchange in the engine shed. In the outdoor area, children can take a ride on the light railroad.

In the historic dining car and in the beer garden there is home cooking from the kitchen and from the grill.
