Stuttgart historic trams
The Association of Stuttgarter Historische Straßenbahnen e. V. (SHB) uses historical vehicles from the years 1868 to 1986 as well as objects from operations and technology to document the history of the Stuttgart trams (SSB) and neighboring or operationally associated transport companies such as B. the Filderbahn-Gesellschaft , the city tram Feuerbach (SSF), the tram Eßlingen am Neckar - which was operated by the Eßlinger Städtische Straßenbahn (ESS) - and the tram Esslingen – Nellingen – Denkendorf (END). To this end, as the owner of the vehicles and technical systems, the association operates the Stuttgart Tram World Museum in Bad Cannstatt (before that, the Zuffenhausen Tram Museum from 1995 to 2007), from which tours of historic old-timer lines over the preserved part of the meter-gauge Stuttgart are also operated Rail network take place.
Exhibitions, for example on track and overhead line construction and extensive documentation, presented almost the entire development of local public transport in the Stuttgart area (with the exception of the Stuttgart S-Bahn and bus lines that do not belong to the SSB).
Stuttgart Tram Museum
The association, founded in 1987 operates in partnership with the Stuttgart streetcars AG , the Tram Museum Stuttgart , a tramway museum in Stuttgart - Bad Cannstatt . Historical vehicles from 1868 to 1986 as well as objects from operations and technology are shown, and historical vehicles are also offered. The museum in Veielbrunnenweg 3, which opened on July 4, 2009 under the name of Straßenbahnwelt Stuttgart, is housed in a historic tram depot from 1929, which is a listed building. The name was changed to the Stuttgart Tram Museum in summer 2018.
The museum documents the history of the Stuttgart trams and neighboring or operationally associated transport companies such as the Filderbahn-Gesellschaft , the Feuerbach municipal tram , the Eßlingen am Neckar tram - operated by the Eßlinger Städtische Straßenbahn (ESS) - and the Esslingen tram - Nellingen – Denkendorf (END).
The Stuttgart Tram Museum is also the starting point for classic car lines 21 and 23.
exhibition
The core of the exhibition were in the old Zuffenhäuser Wagenhalle last 36 historic tram cars from Stuttgart and the surrounding area, a historic train of the cog railway , seven buses (for reasons of space mostly in the Bus depot Gaisburg housed), two different halves of the light rail - prototypes and rail and road flush work vehicles . However, part of the museum's holdings is still being processed or was relocated to Bad Cannstatt during the Zuffenhauser era, which made it generally inaccessible to the public at the time. Even in today's Tram Museum in the lower hall of Bad Cannstatt from 1929, only part of the collection can be presented due to lack of space; for this purpose, different themed islands (e.g. passengers or driving school ), display boards or specially prepared showpieces such as a manually operated signal wall or A walk-in maintenance pit under a GT4 presented various topics even better and more directly tangible. In addition, self-made model vehicles on a scale of 1: 22.5, some of which are controlled by an original crank drive switch, will be demonstrated on a model tram system currently under construction.
The historical train operation, which is usually carried out on Sundays on museum lines 21 and 23 and on various occasions on the entire remaining meter-gauge network of the SSB, was and still is of great importance. After the conversion of the last tram line 15 and the abandonment of the Zuffenhausen location and the transfer route to the main workshop in Möhringen , these are now the following routes:
- Depot tour: Halle Cannstatt - Daimlerstraße - Mercedesstraße - Halle Cannstatt (single-track pure tram route, free use of solo, two- and three-car trains as well as old-build vehicles with narrow wheel tires and / or excess width possible).
- City loop (line 21): Bad Cannstatt - Charlottenplatz - Berliner Platz (Hohe Straße) - Central Station - Bad Cannstatt (use of solo, two- and three-car trains possible). This line has not been used since 2016 because the so-called city loop is not accessible from Stuttgart 21 due to the construction of the Staatsgalerie stop as a follow-up measure.
- Big round (line 23): Bad Cannstatt - Pragstraße - Nordbahnhofstraße - Hauptbahnhof - Charlottenplatz - Alexanderstraße - Ruhbank TV tower and back (panorama route with up to 8.5% gradient, therefore only use of solo and two-car trains possible).

Creation of the museum collection
prehistory
In the first half of the 20th century, the SSB owned an extremely varied fleet of vehicles. In the Second World War , the SSB suffered heavy losses in equipment and vehicles, but the diversity in the vehicle fleet remained until the 1950s. The special topography of Stuttgart and the sometimes very cramped conditions repeatedly required new and special solutions for vehicle developments, plus the vehicles from the companies that were taken over, such as the Filderbahn, the Feuerbacher and the Esslingen tram. In the years of reconstruction and the economic boom, the signs were all about modernization: new series such as GT6 , T2 and GT4 replaced the old wagons, some of which were still from the horse-drawn tram era, and the preservation of museums did not match the zeitgeist. In those years the SSB had to struggle with a massive image problem, which was largely shaped by accidents with old vehicle material. Nevertheless, there were committed employees and tram fans who, with the knowledge of the management, looked after historic vehicles in the unused siding and thus wanted to protect them from being scrapped. This was particularly true for the former depot No. 2 Westend, which, due to its confinement, could only partially or not at all be accessed by the new vehicles.
From June 19, 1964, line 6 from Stuttgart to Echterdingen was tied through and the upper Filderbahn was served exclusively by tram vehicles from then on. From one day to the next, the entire old, historically valuable Filderbahn fleet was parked and scrapped a few weeks later except for wagon 126 . This was chosen because it was expected that it would also be drivable on inner-city routes, which would not have been possible with the maximum multiple units.
Predecessor groupings
The Society for the Preservation of Rail Vehicles (GES), which emerged from Verkehrsfreunde Stuttgart (VfS), succeeded in laying the foundations for a vehicle collection from 1965, before concentrating entirely on the preservation of rail vehicles from 1971 .
As early as 1955, the Verkehrsfreunde received the railcars 2010 and 2038 at their request. The SSB asked that the wagons be removed from the SSB tracks, as the space was urgently needed for the new vehicles. The traffic friends did not comply with this request of the SSB. In 1959, the board of the Verkehrsfreunde cleared the car to the SSB for scrapping, which happened in 1960. The traffic enthusiasts asked for the 2016 work car. The SSB also transferred responsibility for this car to the club. The association ensured that the car was hidden from official view in a small storage shed belonging to the SSB. At its request, the SSB subsequently awarded the Association of Verkehrsfreunde Stuttgart ownership of further historic vehicles that had been brought together in the old, cramped Westend depot. Since the depot area was to be sold, the SSB asked the traffic friends to pick up the cars. This did not happen because the club grouping ultimately did not have the opportunity to do so. After the SSB had set additional deadlines several times, almost all of these vehicles were scrapped in 1966. In addition, by order of the Technical Board, the SSB's operating facilities had to be cleared of all vehicles that were otherwise no longer needed. Only a few work vehicles survived this action, but they were still in use at the time.
With railcar 126, a vehicle from GES could be brought to private property in Ludwigsburg for the first time and was thus preserved. Car 126 later returned to the SSB network. The Reutlingen tram should not go unmentioned in this context. Until they were discontinued in 1974 (and beyond), a number of former SSB cars survived the scrapping in Stuttgart. In the run-up to the 100th anniversary of local transport in Stuttgart, municipal councils suggested in 1967 that a historic train be used in the anniversary year of 1968. The king car planned by the SSB , formerly No. 300, at that time work car No. 20 for the END tram, was a very atypical vehicle for the SSB, a demonstration car, built by the Herbrand company in Cologne-Ehrenfeld and acquired as an opportunity purchase. Tram fans suggested that instead of the already partially refurbished car 20, the already mentioned 2016 work car, a typical representative of the early SSB vehicles, be converted into an anniversary car. The claim, which can also be found in the relevant literature, that the END 20 wagon was structurally in a state no longer suitable for reconditioning, has not yet been proven. Rather, the car was later made available to a scrap dealer in exchange for today's museum car 610, the 2002 teaching car at the time, as a material compensation in order to save the 610 car, a typical representative of the 600 series, from being scrapped. As a result, the car was brought closer to its original condition by the SSB in 2016 and used for the celebrations in 1968 under its original number 222. After the success of the anniversary service in 1968, the SSB was able to go to its own responsibility to store the remaining wagons or other wagons that appeared historically valuable. For this purpose, such wagons for a future museum collection were initially stored in Ostheim and from 1976 in the barely used Gerlingen depot . In 1973, the SSB created an internal list of museum cars for the first time.
The amateur association Straßenbahnmuseum Stuttgart (SMS), founded in 1976, was initially successful when it presented a Feuerbach train that was externally imitating the model for the 50th anniversary of the Feuerbach – Gerlingen municipal tram (see below), and in 1978 it built two horse-drawn tram cars for special operations and the initiated the ready-to-drive refurbishment of today's museum motor car 418.
Over time, however, the club took over. The attempt to build a museum tram from the END systems taken over from 1978 to 1980 failed, as did plans to revive the Härtsfeldbahn from Aalen to Ebnat (1984) or to set up a large open-air museum in Schönau in Baden with a multifunctional museum route to Neckarsteinach (from 1985) . The collection was divided on the basis of a resolution by the general meeting, as there were no accommodation options for a whole collection in Stuttgart and the surrounding area at that time. Most of the vehicles that were brought to Schönau were that had less of a local connection to Stuttgart and had mostly not been refurbished. The SSB saw no further opportunity for help for the SMS, which had completely strayed from its roots, after actively supporting it until 1983. Since the association failed to keep several promises that the SSB had received from it with regard to mutual cooperation, the SSB board itself found itself in an unfavorable position.
History of the Stuttgart Historical Tram Association
In 1985, the Stuttgart Tram Museum Interest Group (IGSSM) was formed in Stuttgart from members of the SMS in order to open a local museum with parts of the SMS collection that remained in Stuttgart. The IGSSM increasingly relied on close cooperation and exchange with the Stuttgarter Straßenbahnen AG. It should be noted that without this extensive willingness to cooperate, there would have been no opportunities for an association to work, rather the SSB wanted to keep control of the project this time. As a first project in 1986, the IGSSM was able to present the externally refurbished Tw 276 at a large vehicle show on the occasion of the Gerling Street Festival. In 1987 the IGSSM merged with the Stuttgart Historic Trams Association and was able to open a provisional tram museum on April 29, 1989 in the small, former Gerlinger Wagenhalle of the SSB. In 1993 this lost its meter-gauge siding due to the expansion of the urban railway. On May 16, 1995, the new Tram Museum in Zuffenhausen was opened in the SSB depot in Zuffenhausen, which was closed in 1994, from where traffic on the remaining meter-gauge network was possible again. With the conversion of line 15, which runs past the museum, as the last meter-gauge tram line of the SSB to light rail operation , another move became necessary; the museum was closed on October 28, 2007 due to construction work. On July 4, 2009, the new Stuttgart Tram World was opened in the listed former tram depot No. 5 in Bad Cannstatt .
Some special vehicle fates
Tw WN 26
The former Filderbahn railcar No. 26, built in 1912, has probably had the most complex rescue history behind it. Members of the later founded GES were able to avert the scrapping of the car for the time being in Möhringen in 1964, whereby the permissive usability on the entire SSB network with at the same time typical rural railway car appearance was decisive in the decision for this vehicle type. The initially unsuccessful founding of the association and further quarrels led to the decree at the time that all vehicles no longer needed should be removed from the network immediately. In order to set an example, GES members gave the vehicle back its original green paintwork with the approval of SSB and presented it to the public in 1966 with a farewell press trip to Plieningen . Then, in order to comply with the SSB's request, the car was loaded into the Wangen track warehouse and temporarily parked on a garden plot behind the music hall in Ludwigsburg .
It was not until 1968/1969 that the SSB gradually began to rethink after the successful jubilee with classic car traffic to mark its centenary. On the occasion of a vehicle show on September 16, 1969 on the Cannstatter Wasen , the SSB brought the railcar back to Stuttgart and since then has kept it in the museum's collection, but it was never put back into operation.
His WN 32 sidecar survived as a track measuring car, as it was not dispensable during the major fleet clearing of the 1960s.
Tw 222
Today's oldest railcar in the museum collection was stored as a road salt transport car in Zuffenhausen and was already listed in the vehicle lists of the 1960s with the note "Museum". For the 100th anniversary of the tram in Stuttgart in 1968 they were looking for a presentable car that would serve as a nostalgic vehicle. The reconditioning of the so-called King's Car No. 300 (a one-off from 1903), which had already begun, was discontinued on the advice of tram enthusiasts, instead car 222, a more typical representative, was reconditioned in a short period of time and with partial use of unrelated equipment from other tram cars that were still more recent , which is why the quality of the processing suffered a bit. The car was redesigned into a nostalgic vehicle that mimicked the appearance of 1904 for the anniversary trips, and numerous compromises were accepted for serviceability ( Lyra type pantographs from Amsterdam, new fan heaters). The car received a limited driving license for use in daylight during the anniversary summer. On the occasion of a technical overhaul, the driving switches of the 2002 teaching car (formerly Tw 610 ), which had recently been decommissioned, were installed. Since then, it has been used sporadically at special events on short tours and otherwise forms an important part of the museum's permanent collection.
The car could not be used freely on routes that had been upgraded to meet the requirements of the urban railway due to the narrow wheel tires until a major overhaul in 2009, but should remain limited to exceptional cases in future, given the age and historical value of the vehicle.
Tw 340
Tw 340 (formerly 240) was built in 1910 and rebuilt in 1955. Like the old one, the new structure was made of wood, although z. B. the garden show car from 1939 had already been designed as a lightweight steel car. Innovations compared to the original design of the car were the shape of the windows, rounded platform and the barrel roof, which replaced the original lantern roof of the car.
Together with Bw 1255 from 1929, which had almost the same fate, it is also the most widely traveled museum car of the SSB: After its retirement by the SSB in 1961, it first came to the Reutlingen tram, where it was given the number 34, after it was discontinued 1974 to the Association of Carinthian Railway Friends (today Carinthian Museum Railways) in the Klagenfurt area. Since the construction of the planned tram museum (today Historama Ferlach ) was delayed for an indefinite period of time and the collected vehicles were partly left to decay in children's playgrounds, Tw 34 was initially given on loan to the then German Tram Museum (DSM) near Hanover in 1977. There it stood, however, on a former factory site in Sehnde - Wehmingen , unprotected in the open, until it was finally brought back to Stuttgart in 1988 at the instigation of SHB members. When he arrived he still had the Reutlingen equipment, including the green paint, due to the 14-year outdoor period, however, an extensive external refurbishment was necessary. However, due to the lack of reconditioning and readjustment of the technical equipment to Stuttgart requirements, the car is no longer operational today.
No. 610
Tw 610 was delivered in 1929 under the number 480. In 1956 the car body was refurbished, with a modernized exterior, including number and target film boxes and rubber-framed window panes. As early as 1957, however, due to the delivery of newer rolling stock, it was mainly used as a teaching vehicle. After the car type was finally withdrawn from regular passenger traffic in the autumn of 1962, the vehicle under the new road number 2002 served as a teaching car until 1969.
It was then sold to a scrap dealer for scrapping. Its already started dismantling could be prevented by committed tram fans. For this, the dealer was compensated financially and received the already partially restored motor car END 20 (I) (the originally so-called Königwagen, SSB No. 300 (I)) as a replacement for the scrap value of car 610 . Associated with this was the obligation to partially demolish this car by hand. The idea behind this was to keep the last railcar of the 600 series, a typical Stuttgart line vehicle, instead of the loner END 20.
The already no longer complete railcar in 2002 was first placed in Möhringen, later in Ostheim and from 1976 in Gerlingen. In 1971 he had to hand over his two driving switches to Tw 222 , a medium-term replacement from SSB stocks was originally planned, but came under the circumstances. a. no longer materialized for personal reasons. In 1978 his last remaining wooden longitudinal bench was used to complete the Tw 418, which was being refurbished into a ready-to-drive car. The shell of the earlier training vehicle, which belongs to a historically significant type of vehicle, as it was specially designed for the narrow dimensions of SSB depot 2 (Westend), was externally refurbished in 1988 by the newly founded SHB association and given the appearance of the late 1950s set back; At the same time, the interior furnishings, in particular the longitudinal bench seats, were largely reconstructed or supplemented from stocks. As before, Tw 610 today only has empty travel switch housings without contact sets. Since the reconditioning of the electrotechnical system and the adaptation to the needs of the current operation were completely omitted, the trolley can only be rolled to this day.
Tw 714
Tw 714 (sometimes 659, later 859) was purchased in 1939 like its sister vehicle Tw 702 (today Tw 851) on the occasion of the 1939 Reichsgartenschau . While Tw 851 has been in the museum business in Stuttgart since 1978 and was significantly changed from its original condition during the last revision in its operating time, Tw 859 has been on the grounds of the Tram Museum in Hanover since the 1970s and did not return to Stuttgart until the end of 2003 . The railcar has been preserved close to the original, but requires thorough renovation and restoration. With regard to the operating status shown in the future, it will also get its original car number back. When work began in 2010, the vehicle was removed from the permanent exhibition; after it was partially dismantled in the museum's own workshop, it has been in Gera for refurbishing the car body since February 2011.
Bw 20
The open summer carriage is a complete reconstruction from 1992 based on old plans on former horse-drawn tram wheels. It is interesting that the predecessor association SMS had already built a similar vehicle with Bw 21 in 1978, which was later sold to the private operator of the horse-drawn museum on the island of Spiekeroog and is still in use there.
Bw 1255
Bw 1255 was delivered in 1929 and is today the last completely preserved sidecar belonging to SSB from the prewar period. For this reason and because of the relative lack of sidecars in the historical vehicle inventory, the SHB association decided in 1994, despite the extremely desolate condition of the car and the ongoing move to Zuffenhausen, to return it to Stuttgart, after having removed it from the collection of the Hanover Tram Museum ( HSM) had to be outsourced due to restructuring measures. Before that, it had been sold to the Reutlinger tram in 1962 , much like Tw 340 , went with the latter to the Carinthian Railway Friends in 1974 and followed him to the DSM in the direction of Hanover in 1979, where it was parked unprotected in the open until the end. Due to this 20-year storage period under all weather conditions, a thorough overhaul or partial reconstruction of the vehicle is necessary after the lengthy drying out of the car body.
Tw SSF 15
The Feuerbach railcar is actually the SSB-Tw 259 (built in 1929), which was last used as Tw 35 on the Reutlingen tram and was redesigned in 1976 by the SMS association due to the lack of original vehicles , as it was replaced by previous ones Conversions actually showed resemblance to a Feuerbacher series. The redesign, which was rather half-hearted and unprofessional at the time, was further improved by the SHB association in 1996, but the old technical equipment from Reutlingen's times, which was partially worked on by the predecessor SMS association, was retained, which is why the car is no longer operational today. The vehicle was probably given the road number 15 because its historical model, the original SSF 15 railcar , was produced at the same time as the Stuttgart railcar 259 at Maschinenfabrik Esslingen , when SSB railcar 301 outlived all other original Feuerbacher vehicles and was only scrapped in 1964 .
The sidecar bought by SMS in 1976 with the fantasy number 22 (formerly sidecar 42 of the Reutlingen tram), a sister vehicle to the operational sidecar 1241 from 1953, is also still in the magazine inventory in Stuttgart, but is part of the current museum concept due to a lack of authenticity and a reference to Stuttgart tram history not matter.
Bw ESS 22
The half-open sidecar (built in 1912) was the only one in this series to be converted into a closed vehicle and modernized in 1930. After the Eßlinger Städtische Straßenbahn was discontinued in 1944, he went first to the SSB and in 1951 to the END, which used him under number 41 in special trains and in low-load traffic behind the so-called Königwagen. In 1965, both vehicles came back to the SSB to be prepared as an anniversary train for the 100th anniversary of the SSB. For this purpose, the sidecar was redesigned as a prototypical SSB nostalgia vehicle No. 70 with open platforms, but the conversion of the railcar was no longer possible for various reasons, ultimately it was canceled by tram enthusiasts for a scrap dealer in exchange for wagon 610 . For this, the Bw 70 has now been added to the (non-operational) museum inventory behind Tw 222 , as it had proven to be too heavy for any joint use with it, and has since been presented as a showpiece on special occasions and as part of the first Gerlinger Museum. In 1995 it finally got its historically correct shape as an Esslinger sidecar behind Tw ESS 7, but there are currently no plans to restart the train.
GT4 519
The oldest GT4 still in existence in Stuttgart (built in 1959) today represents in the museum as one of a total of three historic, non-operational museum railcars, the most modern version as a guided railcar ( railcar ) in the condition of 1990. The seven other running GT4 railcars are all located, however last used in the early 2000s. The first GT4 number 501, like the youngest with number 750 (built in 1965), was lost in an accident.
DT8.1 / .3
Of the three light rail prototypes (type DT8.1, .2 and .3 ) manufactured by MAN , only the two halves 3001 (DT8.1) and 3006 (DT8.3) remained as museum vehicles. The other halves and the DT8.2 (3003/04) were retired and dismantled at the end of the 1980s. Initially, the museum wagons were stored in the Heslach and Möhringen tram depots, where they found space on a siding, which was not needed at the time, during the depot's first expansion phase, before being transported by low-loader to the Zuffenhausen Tram Museum in early 1995. After the museum moved to Bad Cannstatt and the warehouse in Zuffenhausen, which was temporarily used as a warehouse, was cleared in 2010, the two cars were returned to the Heslach depot, as the cars had to be dispensed with for the time being due to lack of space in Bad Cannstatt. In 2018, a third rail was installed in track 7 of the so-called Upper Hall of the Cannstatt depot, on which the two halves of the car have now found space. The vehicle is outside the museum and therefore cannot currently be viewed.
