Munich tramway 150th anniversary celebrations

Overview

The city of Munich is marking the 150th anniversary of its tramway system, which first began operations on October 21, 1876. The network has evolved from its origins as a 2.8-kilometer horse-drawn line into a modern, zero-emission component of urban mobility.

Commemorative events organized by the Münchner Verkehrsgesellschaft (MVG) included a parade of historical and museum vehicles traveling through the city, as well as an open house at the Einsteinstraße depot. To enhance the jubilee, volunteers from the Straßenbahnfreunde München association wore period-accurate uniforms and distributed souvenir tickets. The anniversary festivities reportedly attracted more than 30,000 visitors to the city center during the jubilee weekend.
