The renovation and construction work for the “Lokwelt Freilassing” museum began in autumn 2004. At almost the same time, the association “Friends of the Historic Locomotive Shed 1905 Freilassing eV” was founded, which actively supports the museum. The Freilassing Lokwelt was officially opened to visitors on September 2, 2006 .
The roof of the building was hit by hurricane Kyrill on 18./19. January 2007 so badly damaged that the Lokwelt had to be temporarily closed. The roof structure has meanwhile been supported so that stability is ensured again. The other damage has also been repaired to such an extent that the Lokwelt can now be visited again without restrictions.
