The Freistätter Feldbahn
which now drives groups of visitors into the moor, used to transport completely different goods on the historic track.

Little locomotive In the moor colony founded by Pastor Bodelschwingh in 1899 for "migrant arms" and welfare children, the railway played an important role from the start.

All the facilities of the establishment, the various houses and handicraft businesses, were connected to one another by an extensive rail network.
Even today, fragments of rails can be found in the pavement at various points in the village, which bear witness to this.

The current course of the light rail line corresponds exactly to that of over a hundred years ago; along the connecting road Freistatt - Heimstatt, the old Moordamm.

From here, mobile tracks were laid in the current peat cuttings as required.

Except for the 1934 locomotive from the Diepholzer Feldbahn with attached wagons
Schöttler Maschinenfabrik, which is enjoying its well-deserved retirement in the town center near the Feldbahn Hauptbahnhof, three younger locomotives are constantly in service for the transport of tourists.

All three also Schöma makes,
Year of construction 1953 and 1943/44.
Three visitor carts were opened in the 80's
Years and offer space together
for groups of up to 71 people.
