Familientag: Muttertagsausflug zum Alten Stellwerk Armsheim Nord (An)

Mother's Day outing with picnic options. The Friends of the Old Signal Box Armsheim North (An) e.V. invite you on Sunday, May 17, 2026, to a day of experience for young and old – the Family Day at the Old Signal Box. The signal box is open from 11 AM to 5 PM. Everyone can look forward to expert and interesting guided tours inside and around the old signal box. In the outdoor area, the track model of a Brio train will explain in a child-friendly manner why signal boxes exist. Children will be allowed to operate switches, signals, and barriers themselves, thus "understanding" how a signal box works.
On the ground floor, the railway history of Rheinhessen is showcased, and the tension mechanism – ropes, weights, and signals can be admired.
On the upper floor, the daily work of a pointsman is explained: what did a pointsman have to do to ensure a train could run?
Entry free - donations are welcome.
