Historical technology to touch

Here, the main focus is not on a large festival stage, but on a piece of lived industrial culture. Visitors will experience a vehicle exhibition, draisine, field railway, and garden railway rides, as well as demonstrations at the turntable and insights into the locomotive shed. This mix makes the multi-day feeling of a large festival palpable in one day: close, communal, detail-oriented, and full of atmosphere.

Community, volunteering, and local history

The Turntable Festival thrives on engagement and tradition. The Amberg Kaolin Railway Association is working with its partners on the future OIL-M, which is dedicated to the historical processing of railway technology exhibits from the Upper Palatinate mining region. Reports from the region describe the transformation of the area as an impressive volunteer project with a noticeable attraction for visitors.

Family-friendly experience with behind-the-scenes insights

For children, families, and technology enthusiasts, the festival offers much to discover: movement on rails, rare vehicles, open workshop atmosphere, and a site that makes history tangible rather than just displaying it. This makes the day in Amberg a relaxed yet impressive outing with a strong community feeling and genuine museum character outdoors.
