From November 28 to December 20, the association “Historische S-Bahn e.V.” (Historic S-Bahn Society) is bringing its festively decorated museum trains—dating back to 1928 and 1938—back onto the tracks, bringing Berlin’s railway history to life.
Throughout the weekends of the Advent season, these nostalgic journeys will follow diverse routes through Berlin and its surrounding areas. The trips take place in authentically preserved museum trains that exude a cozy, Christmas atmosphere.
Passengers can enjoy mulled wine, non-alcoholic Christmas punch, and traditional *Christstollen* (Christmas fruit bread).
Last-minute gifts can be found at the team’s souvenir stand, and with a bit of luck, Santa Claus himself might even stop by. In addition to classic trips along the *Stadtbahn* (city line) and *Ringbahn* (circular line), routes to northern destinations such as Oranienburg, Bernau, or Hennigsdorf are also planned, depending on the day.
