A railway site opens its doors Berlin’s historic Schöneweide railway depot is becoming a public transport classroom this weekend as the 21st Berlin Railway Festival brings railway history, engineering and hands-on activities together on 26 and 27 September 2026.
Berlin’s official event listing describes the festival as an opportunity to experience around 120 years of railway history.
Preserving a working landscape The Schöneweide depot is not simply a backdrop.
Berlin’s event information advises visitors to arrive by public transport because parking capacity at the depot is very limited.
By putting historical vehicles beside newer technology, the Schöneweide festival makes that continuity visible.
