Art and model railway: Aachen celebrates the commitment to social projects!

The model railway in Aachen-Kornelimünster is not only a popular leisure experience, but also an important social project that has been active in the "Bahnhofsvision" restaurant since 2019. The railway serves as a platform for the collection of donations, which generate around 7,000 euros annually for various social projects by the Rotary Club Aachen-Land. These funds flow into numerous initiatives, including violence prevention and conflict training for young people, promotion of reading at primary schools and integrative projects as a result of the flood disaster.

The club's commitment is not limited to local issues. International peace and health projects are also supported, which underlines the holistic approach of the Rotary Club. According to antenneac.de , the model railway is currently being expanded to create additional creative input.

As part of the “Art on the Bahn” project on May 7, 2025, the opening of its new art objects will take place on May 7, 2025, which were created in cooperation with the Kunstwerkstatt of Lebenshilfe Werkstätten Aachen. These artistic replicas of Aachen buildings will enrich the already special ambience of the model railway and attract visitors.
