Freiburger-Minidampfbahn

The Freiburger Minidampfbahn runs in Freiburg im Breisgau, offering miniature steam railway journeys for families and train enthusiasts. Miniature locomotives travel along a scenic route beside the historic Höllental steam locomotive 85 007.

Founded in 1984, the railway grew from a passion for preserving railway history and steam technology. Volunteers maintain and operate the trains. The Freundeskreis Eisenbahner und Minidampfbahn Freiburg e.V. took shape in April 2024, when two local railway clubs merged.

Steam railway events and festivals bring added activity to the site throughout the year. Refreshments and snacks make the visit suited to a family outing. The strongest visual landmark remains locomotive 85 007, whose presence connects each small train ride with Freiburg’s railway past.
