The Dieringhausen Railway Museum is a museum about the history of the railway in Dieringhausen , a district of Gummersbach in the Oberbergisches Land . It is located on the 11,000 m² area of ​​the former Dieringhausen depot and is a listed building .

In the museum are u. a. the steam locomotive "Waldbröl" of the Kleinstein – Waldbröl railway , the last Prussian T 14 ( 93 230 ) in Germany and the last original Prussian G 10 ( 57 1841 ) on display.

The museum and vehicles are owned by the Hermann Haeck Foundation and operated by IG Bw Dieringhausen, which has leased the museum.

history

Depot

Before the many smaller railway lines were built around Dieringhausen, Dieringhausen was only a very insignificant, small village.

With the construction of the Siegburg – Olpe railway in 1890, Dieringhausen first had a locomotive station in 1893. As the railway network in the Oberbergisches Land grew larger and larger, this became too small. The Dieringhausen depot was opened in 1905, and in the years that followed, it developed into an ever larger area. Many service apartments were built around the station area, the buildings of which have largely been preserved today and have allowed Dieringhausen to grow rapidly. Until 1920, the railway in Dieringhausen still ran across the town. The train station was on what is now the museum site. The depot was initially attached to the station and was much smaller than it is today.

It was not until 1920, when the Siegburg – Olpe (Aggertalbahn) line was re-routed in the Dieringhausen area, that the line was relocated to the slope and a new Dieringhausen station was built (approx. 500 m further north). The since then pure railway depot can be reached via a branch track from the new Dieringhausen station. Today, however, this is associated with extensive shunting work, as most of the tracks in the station area were dismantled after the cessation of freight traffic. From then on, the depot grew to its present site. In 1941 Dieringhausen was home to the first class 50 and 86 standard steam locomotives . In 1944, the depot was then in war by air raids destroyed. The locomotive station in Osberghausen was then used as an alternate depot. The depot was rebuilt as early as 1945, albeit somewhat differently than it was before the war.

1956 the depot Dieringhausen were then the first rail buses allocated in 1962 was followed by the Diesel the series V 100 .

In 1969 the steam locomotives in Dieringhausen were bid farewell, from now on only diesel locomotives and rail buses were located there.

On April 30, 1982, the Dieringhausen depot was closed by the Deutsche Bundesbahn because, after the extensive shutdowns in the railway network in the Oberbergisches Land, there was no longer any need for a depot. From now on, the Cologne diesel locomotives of the V 100 series were parked overnight in the Dieringhausen station area , like the LINT (BR 620/622) sets still today . There is therefore also a gas station there .

Railway Museum

In 1982 the association "Eisenbahnfreunde Flügelrad Oberberg" ( EFO ) was founded with the aim of building and operating a railway museum in the old depot. A museum GmbH was founded, which was financially supported by Hermann Haeck and operated the museum. Many historical vehicles were purchased (often in very poor condition) and laboriously (at least externally) refurbished. The first museum festival was celebrated in the same year. Then Hermann Haeck acquired the site of the former depot from the Deutsche Bundesbahn and the establishment of a railway museum could begin. At the beginning there were also several Uerdingen rail buses in the museum's collection, which were taken over after the closure of the Dieringhausen depot. Many of them were sold due to a lack of space and lack of demand, so that to this day only one Uerdingen rail bus with its sidecar has remained in the museum.

The steam railway Rur-Wurm-Inde ( DRWI ), which was formerly represented in the museum, moved out of the railway museum at the beginning of 2007 with some wagons and the operational steam locomotive 52 8148 . The new domicile of the DRWI was in Mönchengladbach . At the beginning of June 2008, however, the club was forced to cease operations and dissolve - the vehicles were sold.

Towards the end of 2008, after years of extensive refurbishment, the Waldbröl steam locomotive of the Bielstein – Waldbröl small railway, which no longer exists, was ceremoniously put back into operation. It had previously stood for years with the false name “Nümbrecht” on a monument base in the place of the same name and was in very poor condition.

In September 2008 the last remaining steam locomotive of the class 52 , the locomotive 52 8116, was handed over to the Osnabrück steam locomotive friends. The locomotive was not operational, was in poor condition and was not needed. In return, the railway museum received a completely refurbished Donnerbüchse type passenger car from the Osnabrück steam locomotive friends .

At the end of October 2008, the press announced that the future of the Dieringhausen Railway Museum was in jeopardy because the most important patron and museum owner, Hermann Haeck, had died and he had not accepted the Railway Museum into his foundation. A subsequent transfer to the foundation was still pending. The sons of Hermann Haeck also dismissed the seven permanent museum employees, as they said they would not be able to finance the GmbH. At the beginning of February there was another press release that the annual costs could no longer be borne. From February 1st, 2009 the museum was closed. The city of Gummersbach wanted to keep it, but there was also a lack of financial means. It was now hoped that the Rhineland Regional Council would support the museum.

However, at the end of 2009 the museum became part of the Hermann Haeck Foundation. In April 2009, the name of the museum association was changed from “Eisenbahnfreunde Flügelrad Oberberg” to “Interest group and support association of the Eisenbahnmuseums Gummersbach Dieringhausen e. V. ”, or“ IG Bw Dieringhausen ”for short. A new board was elected and the museum leased from the Hermann Haeck Foundation was reopened to visitors.

Since 2007, the museum's vehicle inventory has been thinned out significantly in the course of several so-called collection adjustments and realignments to vehicle types native to Bergisches Land. The non-operative DR steam locomotive 50 3610 ( rekonstruktionslokomotive ) and the DR steam locomotive 03 2155 (light express train, built in 1934, rekonstruktionslokomotive) were at Wedler Franz logistics in Nossen sold, the steam locomotive 44 1681 (oil-fired) to the SVG Railway World of Horb am Neckar . The operational locomotive with a tender 52 8095 was handed over to the Vulkan-Eifel-Bahn Betriebsgesellschaft mbH from Gerolstein . The operational steam locomotive P8 2455 Posen of the Länderbahnreisen / Manuel Jußen , which had been stationed since November 2, 2008 and was temporarily the locomotive of the Train of Remembrance , also left the museum on August 3, 2012. The class 95 0009 left the museum in October 2014 and was sold to the "Traditionslok 58 3047 eV association" in Glauchau.

Since September 2010, the last steam locomotive of the Prussian class T 14 , locomotive 93 230 (nickname "Der Bulle"), has been in the Dieringhausen Railway Museum. This locomotive is on permanent loan from the Dresden Transport Museum for 15 years .

particularities

The system is unique in Germany due to its arrangement over three levels. On the lowest level is the main part of the system with round locomotive sheds , turntable , general cargo handling , water cranes and inspection pits. On the second level there are coal bunkers and the former service rooms. From there, the coal was tipped down into the steam locomotives via a bulk coaling system, which were located directly below on the lowest level. Above this is the third level, where the tracks of the former freight station and the main line of the Aggertalbahn are located. In the former parking facility, two tank cars are now parked as water tanks (higher water pressure), but this level is not accessible to museum visitors.

Furnishing

The center of the museum is the historic roundhouse from 1906 with eleven stalls and a modern extension (wash hall) and the associated turntable (22 meters in diameter). The locomotive treatment systems include the bulk coaling system , which is no longer used today , a slagging channel, two water cranes (one in operation), a lifting gantry crane, the former sand house, social building as well as various investigation pits and an axle sink. The rear walls and parts of the central smoke extraction system are still present from the eight-hour extension of the roundhouse from 1920. There are also parts of the bunker systems from the Second World War, but they are not accessible. A cafeteria (only open for special events), a bookshop and a signal garden have been set up for visitors .

The museum currently has eleven steam locomotives (two operational), seven diesel locomotives (three operational), a Uerdingen rail bus and an electric locomotive, as well as an extensive collection of wagons.

The Wiehltalbahn GmbH will use the museum to park their vehicles, their MAN railcars and their Esslinger- control car .

The vehicles, which formerly belonged to Hermann Haeck, are owned by the Hermann Haeck Foundation, which owns the museum and a large part of the vehicle collection. Other vehicles also belong to the IG Bw Dieringhausen museum association and various private individuals who place their vehicles in the museum.

  • Steam locomotive 95 0009, Prussian T 20, in front of the roundhouse
