Car set off from Karlsruhe towards the dazzling spectacle

Experience a unique blend of nostalgia and spectacle as a historic diesel locomotive, the V100 1019, embarks on a special journey from Karlsruhe Central Station towards Kaiserslautern on September 13, 2025. This journey is connected to the renowned light and fireworks event, "Rhein in Flammen."

The V100 1019, a locomotive that harks back to an era when the railway played a central role in transportation and industrialization, will travel to the "Rhein in Flammen" light spectacle in Oberwesel. Along the Rhine, castles, palaces, and vineyards will be bathed in colorful lights, creating a breathtaking visual display.

The "Rhein in Flammen" event is just one part of the Schlosslichtspiele 2025 in Karlsruhe, which features a special light spectacle. After the event, the V100 1019 will return passengers to Karlsruhe Central Station, marking the end of a memorable travel and event experience.

Nostalgia locomotives, such as the V100 1019, are historical railway vehicles that convey a sense of connection to the past. In today's time, they have a special significance as they serve as living witnesses of history. Approximately 1,500 nostalgic steam locomotives are available in the country, with about 1,200 operational and 300 serviceable. Only about 150 of these locomotives are used regularly, making each journey a rare and cherished event.

Many nostalgia locomotives are lovingly restored and used for special trips, steam locomotive meetings, or museum rides, making the fascination of old technology tangible. These locomotives are of great interest to railway enthusiasts, collectors, and museum visitors alike, as they preserve technical heritage.

So, join us for a journey back in time as we travel along the Rhine, experiencing the magic of the "Rhein in Flammen" light spectacle aboard the historic diesel locomotive V100 1019. Book your tickets now for a trip you'll never forget!
