Museum

Currently, we are operating a 'museum light' at Berlin Ostbahnhof. In a small space, we aim to present a variety of frequently changing poster exhibitions from our collection. Once we find our permanent location, we look forward to offering you a more extensive collection of exhibits, historical events, and guided tours through the rich history of the Berlin S-Bahn.

Feel free to subscribe to our newsletter to stay up to date.

There is also a bookstand on-site where you can purchase antique literature, such as regulations of the Deutsche Reichsbahn, timetables, schedule books, and promotional materials on selected topics related to the Berlin S-Bahn.

Following the termination of project funding by the Berlin Senate Chancellery on 31 December 2024, we regretfully had to close our location at the Berlin Ostbahnhof by 2 June 2025. Our previous landlord, DB infrago, unfortunately saw no possibility of further accommodating us regarding rental costs.

After our unfortunately brief interim stay at the Ostbahnhof, the S-Bahn Museum has now returned to its small temporary premises at the S- and U-Bahn station Gesundbrunnen. There, we will initially resume displaying our exhibition, including films on the history of the North–South S-Bahn. In the coming year, we plan to update the exhibition and offer additional small-scale events. Of course, we continue working toward a long-term solution that would allow us to present the history of the S-Bahn in a manner commensurate with its significance. Until this longer-term goal is achieved, we look forward to welcoming you again at Gesundbrunnen.

When: 28 February 2026, 28 March 2026, 25 April 2026, 30 May 2026, each from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Where: In the underground spaces located on the central reservation at the intersection of Bad- and Behmstraße (opposite the red brick building of the U-Bahn entrance) – the premises are not barrier-free!

Admission: 3 EUR / 1.50 EUR

As a volunteer-run museum, we are always happy to welcome new team members. You don’t need to be an expert — interest and enthusiasm are more than enough. Please become part of our team and help us engage others in the history of Berlin and its transport technology. Whether it’s welcoming visitors, helping prepare new exhibitions, or assisting with archiving, we’d love to have you.

If you decide to join us on a long-term basis, membership in the German Railway Customers' Association (Deutscher Bahnkunden-Verband e. V.), the museum’s sponsor, is required.

We are often asked whether we accept items from estates, house clearances, etc. Yes! We would be delighted to take them, ensuring that many unique artefacts, each with their own story, are preserved for future generations.
