Historical Tram Ride Through Augsburg: Nostalgia on Tracks
Join us and experience Augsburg from a very special perspective: The historical tour with the tram 506 combines city culture, technical history, and lively memories of the old tram Augsburg. The legendary «Heidelberger» was in service from 1948 to 1973 and remains one of the most famous vehicles of swa.

A Ride That Makes Augsburg's History Tangible
The nearly one-hour tour takes you from Königsplatz via the State Theatre, Bärenwirt, and Oberhausen, continuing past the Fischertor near the Mozart House to Moritzplatz and back to the starting point via the Red Gate. This creates a compact discovery experience that combines city tour, local history, and mobility culture in a pleasantly slowed-down way.

Authentic Atmosphere in a Traditional Vehicle
Tram number 506, built in Heidelberg, stands for real transport history that can be touched. With its classic furnishings, unique soundscape, and the journey through Augsburg’s cityscape, a nostalgic atmosphere is created that can only be conveyed by museum vehicles. The swa keeps the historic cars as small treasures of their collection alive. ([sw-augsburg.de](https://www.sw-augsburg.de/privatkunden/dienstleistungen/historische-tram/?utm_source=openai))
