The Braunschweiger Verkehrsfreunde e. V. (VBV) is one of the oldest museum railway associations in Germany.

history

The Braunschweiger Verkehrsfreunde association was founded in 1949. In 1968, work began on building up a collection of historic passenger cars and special trips were organized with the Hafen 2 steam locomotive (Jung 1925/3736) from the Braunschweig port operating company . This locomotive was also the locomotive of the museum train in the following years and became the property of the association in 1978. Since 1972 the museum train has been marketed as the Braunschweigische Landes-Museumseisenbahn (BLME). After the cessation of passenger traffic on the Celle – Wittingen railway line of the East Hanoverian Railways , the Braunschweigische Landes-Museums-Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft operated tourist traffic on this route until the mid-1990s. The vehicle collection, which soon became quite extensive, was initially parked outdoors at the Braunschweig freight yard.

Location

After the task of repairing steam locomotives by Deutsche Bahn in the repair shop in Braunschweig , private efforts were made to set up a technology museum on a larger part of the site, which, however, remained without official support. The VBV rented the former Anheizschuppen West with the area in front of it and the transfer platform as storage space for the vehicle fleet and found a new domicile in 1978. It operates under the name Lokpark Braunschweig .

Vehicles and operation

Today, the Lokpark is the focus of numerous VBV activities. In addition to the maintenance of the club's own historic trains and the VT-08 railcar - a permanent loan from the DB Museum - there are regular oldie days here in summer and St. Nicholas trips in winter. The Asse-Bummler steam train runs in September from Braunschweig and Wolfenbüttel to Wittmar in the Asse via the Assebahn, which was last used by the Peine-Salzgitter transport company (VPS). Supra-regional special and charter trains also operate.

Even before the steam locomotive VBV 102 of the Braunschweig port company, which was delivered by the Arnold Jung Lokomotivfabrik to the Bergedorf-Geesthacht Railway in 1925 , a small two-axle steam locomotive, built by Hanomag in 1912 for the North German Peat Moor Company in Triangle and was in use there for life , was already running. 1969 as VBV 101 in the inventory of the association. In the 1980s, a 600 hp, four-coupled, heavy freight train tank locomotive, which was built in 1925 by Aktiengesellschaft für Lokomotivbau Hohenzollern and was last used by the Saar mines , came as VBV 106 and a Prussian T 3 from the former Oschersleben from the Warburg sugar factory –Schöninger Railway as VBV 107 in the collection.

In addition, the association owns twelve diesel locomotives, mostly regionally related, including four Wehrmacht diesel locomotives of the types WR 360 C 14 (two), WR 200 B 14 and WR 220 B 15 and two former factory locomotives of the Deutz V6M436R type from the VW plant in Wolfsburg .

In addition to two former MaK large-capacity diesel railcars and an Esslingen railcar , which was delivered to the Hildesheim-Peiner Kreis-Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft in 1952 , more than a dozen passenger, packing and freight cars each enrich the museum's collection.

Former vehicles

As VBV 105 , a former locomotive of the port company Hildesheim (1 II) was in stock until 1992, which is now a memorial at its old place of work. In 1984 a Prussian T 9.1 came into the inventory as VBV 108 (Henschel 12478/1913), which was in service as FK 44 with the Frankfurt-Königsteiner Eisenbahn until 1963 and then for 20 years on a playground in Hattersheim. She donated her usable parts to another Prussian T 9.1 and was later returned. By autumn 2003, they owned another WR 200 B14, the former DL 261 of the Bremervörde-Osterholzer Eisenbahn (BOE), which was sold to the Almetalbahn . In 1988, the association received a steam storage locomotive from the oil refinery in Hanover-Misburg , which a few years later was given to Baddeckestedt as a memorial.
