Austrian Railway Museum

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Austrian Railway Museum (ÖEM) was a separate legal body that was responsible for the administration of the state railway collection until the transfer of responsibility from the ÖBB to the Federal Ministry of Education and Art . It emerged from the Historical Museum of the Austrian Railways , which was created in 1885 at the suggestion of the Ministerialrat in the Ministry of Railways, Victor von Röll . As part of the overall collection of the Technical Museum , the name was continued until the Technical Museum was temporarily closed (renovation and remodeling 1992–1999). The term has not been used since then.

Today the Federal Ministry for Education, Art and Culture is responsible for all state collections.

Location

In over 100 years of history, there has never been a separate museum for the entire railway collection. Even at the time when the museum moved from the management building at Westbahnhof to the new technical museum building, vehicles were housed at other locations for reasons of space. Over time, the ÖBB added more vehicles to the collection, but a concept for good accommodation was never developed.

In 2004, the state railway vehicle collection was split up. With a leasing contract, a contract that every federal museum has as a borrower of the objects of the republic, 84 of the total of 146 vehicles were lent to ÖBB Holding AG . The remainder will continue to be looked after by the Technical Museum.

The collection is thus distributed over many museums and locations, some of which have been established for decades. The part managed by ÖBB is in the Strasshof Railway Museum , the other exhibits in the Technical Museum, in the Schwechat Railway Museum , in the SKGLB Museum Mondsee , in the ÖGEG - Lokpark Ampflwang , in the Southern Railway Museum in Mürzzuschlag , in the Transport Museum Remise , in the Field and Industrial Railway Museum Freiland , at Club 760 , at the ÖGLB in Kienberg-Gaming and at the Schafbergbahn .
