A Journey Through Augsburg's Public Transport History

On November 22, 2026, the historic vehicle hall in Augsburg-Lechhausen will open its doors for a guided tour lasting about one hour. In this listed building, visitors encounter over 100 years of Augsburg's mobility history – directly, atmospherically, and with numerous historical vehicles to discover.

Between Steel, Wood, and Memory

The vehicle hall impresses with its simple, brick-influenced architecture, large window areas, and wide-open gates. Amidst rail vehicles and omnibuses, a special exhibition atmosphere is created: the history of technology is not only explained but also experienced as a sensual artistic experience of forms, materials, and signs of use.

Historical Vehicles from Several Eras

Central to the exhibition are, among others, vehicle 165 from 1926 and the distinctive five-axle GT5 from the 1960s. Other historical trams and buses illustrate the transformation of public transport and make the development of design, technology, and urban space comprehensible.

Cultural Education with Direct Insight

The tour is conducted by the Friends of Augsburg Trams in collaboration with the Traditional Bus Augsburg e.V. It focuses on the history of the vehicle hall, the development of Augsburg's public transport, and the question of how technical infrastructure shapes the everyday life of a city. The revenue supports the preservation of the historical vehicles.

Conclusion: Experience Transport History Live

The Historic Vehicle Hall Augsburg combines monument preservation, the history of technology, and cultural education into an impressive examination of work in public space. Those wishing to experience historical trams, buses, and the atmosphere of an authentic depot up close will find an extraordinary artistic experience beyond classical museum halls.
