One of the main attractions at the transport musum is the Adler, (Eagle) which was Germany's first steam engine (1895). Opened in 1899, the museum has been at the Lessingstra premises since 1985. The fact that the museum is one of the most visited in the city is no doubt down to the fact that it has a great deal to offer. Learn about how the railways developed, marvel at the models and explore the historic carriages on display. There is also an impressive section on the Post Office, which contains a fine collection of stamps and also focuses on the history of telecommunications.
