5th Nördlingen Railway Festival

Time travel with steam and history: the Nördlingen Railway Festival

Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of railroads! The 5th Nördlingen Railway Festival from 14 - 17 May 2026 is an experience for all those who love the romance of times gone by and for curious explorers of all ages.

Experience impressive steam locomotives in full action, admire historic vehicles on the rotating turntable and enjoy authentic steam train rides to Donauwörth, Harburg or Gunzenhausen. The museum team offers expert guided tours that bring history to life. Railroad fans will get their money's worth at the model railway exchange and show.

The special feature: Guest special trains bring visitors from all over the region to Nördlingen - you are right in the middle of the action!

Practical tip: Please park in the multi-storey parking lot at the train station or at the "Deininger Tor" parking lot, as the museum grounds themselves do not offer any parking spaces.
