🇩🇪 Fundraiser – Schwerin Mecklenburg Railway Museum AFTER THE FIRE :*(

The Mecklenburg Railway & Technology Museum in Schwerin suffered a tragic fire. The fire caused extensive damage to the exhibits and some of the locomotives from the museum’s collection of Deutsche Reichsbahn memorabilia. For this video I was granted special access to film in the museum which currently remains closed. You’ll see what the museum now looks like after the fire and see what happened to the steam locomotives inside, as well as the entrance area to the museum, it’s Deutsche Reichsbahn archive, Deutsche Reichsbahn model railway and DR memorabilia. It’s a tragic sight, and if you’d like to help the museum repair and rebuild, then you can donate with the information on their website here:

Also, proceeds from advertising on this video will be donated to the museum. That said my videos normally get between about £1 and £5 in revenue. But every little helps and I hope this one will get more 🙂
