    Wahrhaftig ein Meisterwerk. Hätte beim Hinfahren nie gedacht, dass mich das so umhaut. Ein Wunder wie man mit so einer Detailgenauigkeit und Präzision arbeiten kann. Das Parken war zwar ein bisschen umständlich aber die Mühe wert!!! Die spontane und kostenfreie Führung durch das "kleine Stuttgart" war sehr nett und informationsreich. Essen und Trinken kann man auch sehr gut direkt vor Ort. Auch hier wirklich freundliches und kompetentes Personal, das nicht lange auf sich warten lässt. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis unglaublich gut. Ich empfehle jedem, auch wenn man nichts mit Miniaturen anfangen konnte bisher, hier einmal herzukommen. Es lohnt sich!

    Detailed down to the smallest detail. From Stuttgart City to Bad Cannstatt, as we know it from before. The focus is not just on the opulent railway facilities. Much of the surrounding area has also been recreated true to scale. And even the good old Berta Epple is at anchor at the Wilhelma. Great! There are stools and stairs for children to look at the tracks and the many moving trains. Stuttgart connoisseurs will smile at the many realistic details. Volunteers are happy to provide information and look after the gigantic show. Respect! Many visitors are the best reward for this.

    (Translated by Google) The Stuttgart Miniature Worlds show the N-gauge model "S signal box" built by Wolfgang Frey over 35 years of the Stuttgart city center around the main station. The facility has been designed with great attention to detail and differs very positively from show facilities such as the brightly colored and somewhat Disney-like miniature wonderland in Hamburg due to its scale and the natural, rather muted color scheme. The fascination of this facility is mainly due to the fact that it is the work of a single person who has dedicated almost his entire life to this project. Since March 28, 2022, the system can be admired directly opposite Stuttgart Central Station. However, there still seems to be disagreement about the exact address, the website names Arnulf-Klett-Platz 1-3, the Google Maps entry house number 29 on the same street. At the time of the visit, the system had only been at this location for almost two weeks, which meant that some things still seemed a bit unfinished: - the model railway operation can be described as minimal and runs exclusively manually and with many errors, which very often require trains to be nudged and rerailed. The layout should therefore be approached more as a model than as a railway layout - the hanging QR codes with audio guides often do not work. On the day of the visit, about half were not working - One would like more information about Mr. Frey himself in the exhibition, interviews, chronological classification of the construction phases, different installation sites of the system, etc. This comes rather briefly The new location of the exhibition is well chosen, as it is exactly in the area of ​​the model shown. After the completion of Stuttgart21, the facility will therefore have a special value in giving a glimpse into the past of the area. At the moment, the exhibition is still very unwelcoming from the outside. We almost walked past it, as it looks like one of the many sports betting branches thanks to the fully bonded window front on the entrance side. The bright, modern rooms, the staff who can be contacted at any time and the fact that Frey's work has been made accessible to the public again are positive. Finally, value for money: a family of four with two school-age children pays 28 euros (April 22). This is just about acceptable, but a family tariff should be considered if necessary. (Original) Die Miniaturwelten Stuttgart zeigen das von Wolfgang Frey über 35 Jahre gebaute Spur-N-Modell "Stellwerk S" der Stuttgarter Innenstadt um den Hauptbahnhof. Die Anlage ist mit viel Liebe zum Detail gestaltet und unterscheidet sich durch ihre Maßstabsmäßigkeit und die natürliche, eher gedeckte Farbgestaltung sehr positiv von Schauanlagen wie z.B. dem quietschbunten und etwas disney-mäßigen Miniatur-Wunderland in Hamburg. Die Faszination dieser Anlage entsteht vor allem dadurch, dass sie das Werk einer Einzelperson ist, der quasi sein gesamtes Leben diesem Projekt gewidmet hat. Seit dem 28.03.2022 ist die Anlage direkt gegenüber dem Stuttgarter Hauptbahnhof zu bewundern. Über die genaue Adresse scheint man indes noch uneins, die Website nennt Arnulf-Klett-Platz 1-3, der Google-Maps-Eintrag Hausnummer 29 der gleichen Straße. Zum Besuchszeitpunkt war die Anlage erst knapp zwei Wochen an dieser Location, damit einhergehend wirkt so manches noch etwas unfertig: - der Modellbahn-Fahrbetrieb ist als minimal zu bezeichnen und läuft ausschließlich manuell und mit vielen Fehlern, die sehr häufig ein Anstupsen und Wiederaufgleisen von Zügen erfordern. Man sollte sich der Anlage daher eher als Modell denn als Eisenbahnanlage nähern - die aushängenden QR-Codes mit Audioguides funktionieren vielfach nicht. Am Besuchstag waren etwa die Hälfte ohne Funktion - man wünscht sich in der Ausstellung mehr Information über Herrn Frey selber, Interviews, zeitliche Einordnung der Bauabschnitte, verschiedene Aufstellungsorte der Anlage etc. Dies kommt eher kurz Die neue Örtlichkeit der Ausstellung ist gut gewählt, liegt sie doch exakt in dem Bereich des abgebildeten Modells. Nach Fertigstellung von Stuttgart21 wird die Anlage daher einen besonderen Wert darin haben, einen Blick in die Vergangenheit der Umgebung zu geben. Derzeit präsentiert sich die Ausstellung von außen noch sehr abweisend. Wir wären beinahe vorbeigelaufen, wirkt sie doch durch die vollflächig verklebte Fensterfront auf der Eingangsseite wie eine der vielen Sportwetten-Filialen. Positiv sind die hellen, modernen Räume, die jederzeit ansprechbaren Mitarbeiter und überhaupt die Tatsache, dass Freys Werk wieder der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht wurde. Abschließend Preis/Leistung: ein vierköpfige Familie mit zwei schulpflichtigen Kindern zahlt 28 Euro (April 22). Dies ist gerade noch akzeptabel, aber es sollte ggf. über einen Familientarif nachgedacht werden.

    The exhibition is simply brilliant. The masterpiece of railway model building can be seen here. What Mr. Frey has achieved is very admirable. There are so many details to discover. The madness. There is a great search game for children. We can only recommend a visit here.

    It's definitely worth paying a visit to Stuttgart's miniature worlds. History comes to life here.

    Leider kann aus Platzgründen nicht die ehemals komplette Anlage am Stück aufgebaut gezeigt werden. Einzelne Teile laufen jedoch mit Zugbetrieb. Es ist schon genial was der Erbauer Herr Frey aus Abfallmaterial (vollkommen ohne Bausätze) für eine Landschaft erbaut hat. Sehen und Staunen. Eintritt Erwachsene 9€

    If you want to look in peace, there have to be a lot of visitors inside. The facility manager talks your ear off. He talks and talks and talks, including a lot of private things I was there where I could cleverly avoid him

    It's unbelievable what Wolfgang Frey created by himself and without any kits. One cannot thank the members of "Stellwerk S" enough for preserving the work. The new exhibition location near Stuttgart Central Station will certainly help to attract more visitors.

    Fascinating. Big praise to the association for making this facility accessible again. The true-to-original replicas of railway systems and important parts of the state capital fascinated my daughter and me. Although we have a model railway in H0 scale, you can see a clear advantage of the N gauge. Because it would be impossible, for example, to represent the main station with the track apron in a larger gauge. By the way: The train station and other buildings are also recreated from the inside. So it's worth taking a look through the windows. An impressive model building life's work by Wolfgang Frey that you can bow to. By the way, there are two smaller model railway systems in H0 scale on the upper floor (and another on the ground floor) with which smaller and larger visitors can play and get interested in model railways again. The employees are super nice and are happy to provide information about the system and model building in general.

    An incredible achievement from Mr. Wolfgang Frey. You can reminisce about the time at the end of the 2000s. A lot of details can be found again. Unfortunately, the facility was a bit dusty when I visited. A great achievement from the club and the volunteers to present the facility.

    The miniature model railway system is really worth seeing. The old, original Stuttgart from 30 years ago has been reproduced here with great attention to detail. This is certainly very exciting for locals. If you come by as a tourist it is rather nice to look at, but you would be through in 15 minutes. BUT - there are still hard-working helpers who try to keep the system running and they explain with enthusiasm which part of the system is located where in Stuttgart, what Stuttgart has rebuilt, what has been changed, etc. Even the small, important details Attention is drawn to the creation and various gimmigs. Of course it's not as demanding as in Hamburg, but it's worth seeing. Also because you get a lot of old knowledge from Stuttgart. Without the explanations, the visit wouldn't last 1 1/2 hours but only 15 minutes. That's why I'm deducting 1 star. I don't think that two hard-working helpers could handle a larger rush. @Team: please keep it up - you're on a great path

    What a treasure! Fun for the entire family!

    This place is amazing and, though currently somewhat small, is incredibly detailed and highlights Stuttgarts massive rail presence. The layout is growing to include the airport area as well. The owner was on site and very keen to highlight his 30 years of building these models!

    Place is great for miniature train lovers. 4 stars because the guy at the reception was not the best of the whole experience.

  • 5/5 Irene L. 2 years ago on Google
    It is very interesting and incredible what was put together. The tour guide was really impressive how much he knew. Also interesting for the children as they had to look for scenes.

  • 5/5 Sladjana B. 2 years ago on Google
    Our original estimation was that the visit won't last more than half an hour. How wrong! The level of details, captured in what was Stuttgart couple of decades ago, will keep you in this Museum way longer 😊 Museum personnel can also tell you a very interesting story how this idea started and how it became a (more than) local topic.
