The Naumburg Streetcar needs your help!

A cordial Welcome to the Naumburger Tourist Tramway / Naumburger TouristenBahn (NTB)

The Naumburg tram now runs every day until October 2007. With their typical screeching sound the historic tramcars from GDR times run to and fro through the town and still maintain today the character and charm of a small town tramway. The line leads from Naumburg railway station to the town centre and is 2,5 km long. Since its construction in 1892 the streetcar has survived innumerable closure-attempts. It's the smallest tramway enterprise in Germany and with its ring line is unique in Europe. Formerly called the "Wilde Zicke" (wild goat), it now runs under the name of "Naumburger Touristen Bahn (NTB)". Let yourself be immersed by the culture and tradition of Naumburg and its medieval setting, and take a ride back in time aboard the nostalgic tramway - 2007 daily from April to October!

The Naumburg tramway features the typical charm and quaintness of a small-town tramway. Since the line originally opened in 1892, it has survived numerous closure attempts and in turn has become an integral part of the character and quality of Naumburg! Today the tramway belongs as much to the identity of the municipality as the famous cathedral. While the ring line remains unique in Europe, the tramway operation in Naumburg is the smallest in Germany. Formerly known as the "Wilde Zicke" (Wild Goat), the tramway now operates under the banner of "Naumburger Touristen Bahn" (NTB) in order to symbolize the modern tourist value of the heritage tram. The nostalgic rolling stock of the NTB dates from the 1950s to the 1970s and hence represents the typical pattern of carriage construction from the old East German days. The most quintessential feature of all the tram carriages remains no doubt their old-time, screeching sound! Come aboard the NTB and be immersed by the rich culture, history and tradition of Naumburg, with its wonderful ring line.
