The Miniatur Wunderland has been constantly growing since the year 2001. Having started with two layout areas, Harz and Southern Germany, the Wunderland has openend the seventh area, Switzerland, in November 2007. More layout areas have already been planned until the year 2014.

We have pursued the principle of open workshops since the beginning, which means that you can actually see our modellers and technicians working in the Wunderland and observe how landscapes emerge.

As your questions and comments are mostly answered in detail, this way of working is apparently not the most productive. However, we think that after you have seen the construction sites and the bare frameworks you will better understand how many working hours and how much love we have put into the Miniatur Wunderland (up till now approx. 500,000 working hours and 8.7 Million Euros – updated April 07).

Each part of the layout deals with its own topic, but still they smoothly merge into each other. In this section you find information about all parts of the layout. You can find out more about Wunderland Facts & Figures here.

Below you will find the specific facts for each construction area:

Other areas currently planned or under construction are:

• Airport
