1967 German Railways, Trams & Street Scenes. Original 8mm Kodachrome 

A journey in time to a country, that vanished without trace. The tranquility of it all is overwhelming. Thank you for sharing it!

Thank you for this extraordinary contemporary document. The great scenes and the music make everything seem like memories of a long lost world.

Thank you very much for this wonderful contemporary document and for showing it to the public. Seeing it felt like a dream to me, back to the time when I was 8 years old. I already knew Stralsund, Berlin - Lichtenberg, Berlin-Grünau at that time and everything that travelled around there because I paid attention to these things as a child. Because I had a mum who took me to the living room window on New Year's Eve, opened it at midnight and we heard all the steam locomotives from Köpenick to Wuhlheide and Rummelsburg greet the New Year with a loooong whistle. Thanks for the time, thanks for the film!

Music adds a real air of poignancy to these scenes. Brand new Taigatrommel1:22!

at 4.12 shed scene still looks the same in 2022 !!!! Amazing .-* Pure nostalgia live , thank you for posting !!!!

Thx for Sharing, i am from Spreewald and I have never seen videos of the narrow-gauge railway called the Spreewaldbahn, only photos❤

This video is on the RCTS of GB official tour of the GDR in July 1967. The first organised visit by UK railway enthuasists to the GDR

It's very rare to see footage of the GDR in this era. Remarkable how well kept everything was. Nice to see the Br93 and unrebuilt Br52, these would be missed out by enthusiasts in the 1980s, like the variety of classes on Rügen and other narrow gauge lines.

A great document of old times. My childhood and youth. Overwhelming! Thank you!

Beautiful and astounding impressions of the GDR in the late years of Walter Ulbricht. The summer of 1967 was also the time when a traumatic railway disaster happened in Langenweddingen.

Thank you for resisting the temptation to tinker with this historical footage. Very interesting....

Ganz ganz tolle Aufnahmen. Danke fürs bewahren.

Wunderschöne Bilder von Cottbus und der Spreewaldbahn. Danke fürs Zeigen.

Wow, wow, wow, what a fantastic movie! Thanks for sharing!

Lovely to see the Spreewaldbahn.

Das ist ja interessant. 1967 in Farbe, gerade zur der Zeit, als die Beschriftungen der Züge allmählich auf die EDV-gerechte Schreibweise umgestellt wurde. Es muss im Sommer 1967 entstanden sein, da auch eine V200 (Taigatrommel) vor einem Personenzug bespannt war. Das gab es nur im Sommer, wegen der fehlenden Heizung.

Wonderful 😊 thank you for these extraordinary impressions 🤗 Grüße from the vanished - but with same trace.... part of Deutschland

Real amazing footages of steam locomotives in the former GDR. I think , the camera man had much luck for not been arrested. At that time it was forbidden to film Railways...😮

SEHR SCHÖNE AUFNAHMEN AUS EINER LANG VERGANGENEN ZEITDORT WAR ICH OFT ALS KIND- MACHT WEHMÜTIG DANKE SEHR GRU? DAMPFLOKUDO

Unglaublich wie solche Aufnahmen immer wieder auftauchen, die Taigatrommel hat bestimmt die Original Schalldämpfer drin, Mitten durch die Stadt 😂 👂

The title is misleading. It is not a German railway, itis a railway in east Germany 😊

Und wirklich alles auf KODAK Film festgehalten?

Das war Eisenbahn in einem passenden Umfeld. Danach ging es auch mit der DDR bergab
