List of preserved steam locomotives in Germany
Updated: 5/20/2026, 7:11:14 PM Wikipedia source
This list of preserved steam locomotives in Germany makes no claim to being complete. While there are many surviving examples of several locomotive classes, some are in a very poor condition. Thus the list includes partly dismantled or badly corroded locomotives, the technical condition of which cannot really be accurately conveyed in their descriptions. In many cases the names of organisations, societies and museums have been translated in line with Wikipedia practice. However where they have a standard abbreviation in German, this has been retained. For example, the German Railway History Company (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Eisenbahngeschichte) is abbreviated to DGEG, its normal (German) abbreviation. In either case the link leads to the English Wikipedia article where both English and German names are given. In addition the following common German abbreviations are used:
AW = Ausbesserungswerk = repair shop BW = Bahnbetriebswerk = locomotive depot EM = Eisenbahnmuseum = railway museum RAW = Reichsbahnausbesserungswerk = Reichsbahn repair shop
