Train Journey into the Past
Model trains and photo art at Peißenberg station

On 16.09.23, the station in Peißenberg will open its doors to visitors on the occasion of the “Day of Railways”. Immerse yourself in the world of model railroads and marvel at the impressive 100 square meter model railway layout of the Pfaffenwinkel Model Railway Club.
Another highlight of the event is the art exhibition in the former waiting room and the dispatcher’s rooms. Here, Jennifer Scales presents her works, which capture the special beauty of rail travel with slow shutter speeds and targeted camera movements. Discover a previously unseen world of landscapes in motion – captured in impressionistic photographs.

The exhibition not only includes pictures taken along the local railroad line (Schongau-Augsburg), which might be familiar to commuters, but also images from trains all over Europe. Since 2021, the photographer has visited over 20 countries by train for her ongoing project “Travelscapes”, with the starting and ending point of the journey always being Peißenberg station.

Visitors can also get to know the station itself better: a member of the Model Railway Club will present the old signal box and give you exciting insights into the activities of a train dispatcher of the past.
