The German name ‘Gothawagen’ refers to the Gothaer Waggonfabrik in Gotha, where the first tramcar of this class was built in 1957 (T57). The depicted tramcar was built in 1960 and is still operating for the Naumburg Tramway.
This tramcar still operated by the Naumburg Tramway was built in 1973. Even though this tramcar numbered N° 51 is of the same class as tramcar N° 50 it looks more lively. Fascinating how much difference some red paint can make.
This tramcar of the class 70/1 was built in 1971 and is still used by the Naumburg Tramway (Naumburger Straßenbahn) in Naumburg (Saale). The Naumburg Tramway is considered one of the smallest tramways in Europe and the smallest urban tramway in Germany.
