Description

The Naumburg tram was opened in 1892 as a steam tram between the train station and the city center. After electrification in 1902, the line was expanded in several steps to become a ring line. Due to the poor condition of the infrastructure and a sharp drop in passenger numbers, operations were discontinued in 1991. Thanks to the commitment of some tram enthusiasts, part of the former ring line has been open to traffic again since 1994. Line 4, also known by residents as the "wild bitch," has now become an integral part of the cityscape.

In this video, we follow the route from the main station, past the tram depot and along the city wall to the final stop at Salztor. Due to an event, two cars were used on the day of the recording, while one route is sufficient for the normal timetable.
