Museum Het Petershuis and the Martinus Tower
Gennep—nestled between the borders of Brabant and Germany—was once a thriving railway town.
Gennep—nestled between the borders of Brabant and Germany—was once a thriving railway town. It housed the headquarters and workshops of the Noord Brabantsch Duitsche Spoorwegmaatschappij (NBDS), the company behind the Duits Lijntje. At that time, Gennep was one of the largest border stations in the country.
The history of Gennep and the Duits Lijntje is brought to life at Museum Het Petershuis and the Martinus Tower. There, you can see the “Blauwe Brabander,” a powerhouse of a steam locomotive that once ran along the line. And you can take a seat in a reconstructed train compartment from that era.
