The heritage preservation association Nahverkehr Berlin e. V. (DVN) is a non-profit association based in Berlin .
Concern and story
The aim of the association is to maintain selected means of local transport in the Berlin / Brandenburg area. For this purpose u. a. historic vehicles are preserved, looked after and used in exhibitions and special trips in accordance with listed buildings.
Today's association emerged from the Arbeitsgemeinschaft (AG) 1/11, which was founded under the patronage of the AG Kleinbahnfreunde in the German Model Railway Association (DMV). Their first goal was to prepare a historic Köpenick tram for the Köpenick Festival Week (today: Köpenick Summer ). The working group started its work in September 1967 at the Köpenick tram depot . In August 1968, work began on the future historic Cöpenicker railcar 10, the basis of which was the A277 II working railcar . It already drove on June 21, 1969 on the occasion of the 8th Köpenicker Festival Week . As a result of the great popularity of the population and politics, AG 1/11 continued its work with the development of a historic vehicle fleet. The collection grew gradually and in 1997 comprised around 20 serviceable cars.
The foundation date of the Monument Preservation Association is June 13, 1990. It was entered in the register of associations on October 22, 1992 at the Charlottenburg District Court .
Working groups
Trams working group
The aim of this working group is to include a typical representative from each generation of Berlin trams . The oldest vehicle in the collection is a horse - drawn tram built in 1883 . Today the collection consists of around 50 trams in Berlin and Woltersdorf, from horse-drawn trams to Tatra trams .
For a long time the working group was housed in the facilities of the Niederschönhausen depot. In 2015 the company moved to the Köpenick depot . In the meantime, the Schmöckwitz depot was also used. There are other vehicles at the Woltersdorf tram .
Omnibus working group

The omnibus working group at DVN was subsequently dissolved and the omnibus division was placed under the tram working group. The vehicles stayed with the DVN.
