For 10 years now, the world's largest model railway

can be found in Hamburg's historic warehouse district

It took 500.000 working hours to create this

The city's most popular tourist attraction fascinates

Eight different sections, connected by 13 km of track installation,

provide an unforgettable experience for all ages.

Tons of steel, wood and plaster form the foundation of this extraordinary exhibition.

The journey leads through Scandinavia to Germany,

and far away to America in just a few moments.

Each day, 900 trains with 12.000 wagons travel

a distance of several hundred kilometres.

On the North East Sea, with a water capacity of 30.000 litres,

and in the cosy fictional town of Knuffingen,

250 computer-controlled vehicles are on the move.

Special attractions are the fire runs, controlled by a sophisticated software.

The fire brigades are constantly engaged in fire fighting procedures.

But the police are also busy tracking down traffic offenders.

The newest attraction of the Miniatur Wunderland is the "Knuffingen Airport".

After six years of development and a cost of 3.5 million Euro,

the world's probably smallest commercial airport opened in May 2011

On 150 square metres, with more than 40 airplanes and the ground staff that goes with it,

it may be the world's most advanced flight simulation.

From the technology hangar to the air terminal

every little detail has been faithfully recreated.

Without a doubt, the attention to detail is at the heart of the layout.

Over 200.000 figures show life in all its facets.

It's a world where the law chases criminals

Where the fire department puts out a large fire

Imagination knows no bounds in the the Wunderland.

- and some just hunting for the best pictures,

The Wunderland is absolutely diverse and unique.

Travel from the highest mountain with over six meters...

over dreamy streets to the Grand Canyon…

In the Miniatur Wunderland, a day lasts 15 minutes.

that the layout shines in a captivating light.

Then, the night life of the various regions really becomes visible.

And amidst all this, more hidden stories emerge

There are over 200 push-button actions spread across the edge of the layout,

where the visitors can actively participate in various forms.

For example, in a sweet way, at the chocolate factory,

or in the daily struggle with the pitfalls of technology,

The technology behind it all is monitored by human eyes

from a control console and with the help of more than 40 computers.

These are controlled by a complex, self-developed software.

The Miniatur Wunderland is internationally well known through more than 1.000 TV-Reports

The 260 people on the Wunderland team are never short on new ideas.

Until 2020, there will be new sections covering France, Italy, England and parts of Africa…

To convey this marvel in five minutes - impossible!
