The exhi­bi­tion cen­ters on two expan­sive film instal­la­tions: In the first room, a fil­ing cab­i­net seem­ing­ly pierces the entire build­ing with hun­dreds of thou­sands of files, visu­al­iz­ing the gigan­tic legal and admin­is­tra­tive process of the rail­way reform. Sur­round­ing this is an eight-part media instal­la­tion made up of imag­i­nary train win­dows, which, in a cir­cu­lar for­mat, nar­rates the entire devel­op­ment of the rail­way from the 1990s to the present day in var­i­ous films and ani­ma­tions in 360-degree mode. This cen­tral media instal­la­tion enters into an in-depth and illus­tra­tive dia­logue with the third ring of exhibits. The dig­i­tal pre­sen­ta­tion is flanked by ana­logue exhibits that sig­nif­i­cant­ly reflect this peri­od. Fine line graph­ics con­nect explana­to­ry texts with the real exhibits and lead to the core exhib­it of recent rail­way his­to­ry: the mod­el devel­op­ment of the ICE fleet. The rail­way has also embraced the chang­ing world of work: in an adjoin­ing spa­tial seg­ment, imagery presents old and new work­ing environments.

In the fol­low­ing strat­e­gy room, the cen­tral sceno­graph­ic and archi­tec­tur­al ele­ment is the imag­i­nary 3D grid, a ver­i­ta­ble spa­tial exhib­it devel­oped specif­i­cal­ly for this exhi­bi­tion with Eidotech GmbH. Using state-of-the-art 3D map­ping tech­nol­o­gy, it pro­vides insight into Deutsche Bah­n’s strate­gic con­sid­er­a­tions up to 2020. Vis­i­tors can relive the events of the past 20 years through a vari­ety of con­ver­sa­tions in audio nich­es. Train dri­vers and CEOs report on the devel­op­ments and their impressions.
