    The Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck depot is located at the Bismarck freight depot in the Gelsenkirchen Zoo station section, opposite the Gelsenkirchen Zoo stop on the Märkische Emschertalbahn. It was in operation from 1926 to 1981 and is today the largest preserved old railway depot for steam locomotives in the Ruhr area.
    The former Graf Bismarck colliery, the Gelsenkirchen district of Bismarck and the railway depot were named after the former Chancellor Otto von Bismarck.

    The depot includes a roundhouse with a turntable. The RVR has invested quite a bit in public centers to maintain the roof and compartments. There have been many ideas, concepts and highly interested aspirants for its use over the last twenty years. It is to be wished that life will return to the beautiful building.
