08.10.2024: Our chimes in everyone's ears

We are particularly pleased that ARD is reporting on our collection of chimes in the Historic Engine Shed in Wittenberge as part of its podcast about the railway adventure - incredible journeys, amazing experiences. It is the result of a decades-long collection by Wolfgang List from Stendal, who sadly passed away last year. His family passed the collection on to us in trust. It is an honour for us to present his work to the public in our museum.

Of course, it takes time to install the chimes, some of which weigh several hundred kilos. But four active members of our museum in particular have taken on the task and are rightly proud of their work. The systems are now gradually being electrically connected so that they can also be demonstrated in operation. But listen for yourself to what our colleagues have to say about their adventure. You can find the podcast from 29.9.2024 about our collection along with other railway stories at the following link:
