Hanover Tramway Museum
Source

The Hannoversche Straßenbahn-Museum (HSM) is a museum dedicated to trams and related vehicles. It is located in Wehmingen, a district in Sehnde, southeast of Hannover. The museum is privately run and operates on a voluntary basis.

Operational Vehicles at the Museum

As of 2010, the museum was able to display 55 vehicles, out of which 12 motor vehicles and 5 trailers were operational. These operational vehicles could be used for passenger traffic, providing visitors with a unique experience of travelling in historical vehicles.

Acquisition of New Vehicles

The museum also acquires 'new' vehicles when they can fill historical gaps in the collection, replace a corresponding vehicle in worse condition, or be used for driving with visitors. This ensures that the museum's collection is always growing and improving, providing visitors with a comprehensive and dynamic view of tram history.

Visitors appreciate the well-maintained vintage vehicles and the opportunity to ride on some of the operational trams along a short stretch of track. The museum provides informative displays about the development of tram systems, though some guests note that more English translations would be helpful for international visitors.
