Overview
- The late‑night jubilee, held on the night of August 15–16, 2026, brought roughly 600 guests to Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg for backstage tours, talks with the founders and live model‑building demonstrations.
- Organizers officially put the Iguazú waterfall in the new Amazonas section into operation during the celebration, presenting it as the event’s highlight and a step in the venue’s staged expansion program.
- A charity auction of the final 80 anniversary tickets funded 100 additional invitations for people facing hardship, a move organizers said combined public celebration with social outreach.
- Miniatur Wunderland now covers about 1,600–1,700 square metres, runs more than 1,200 model trains and employs roughly 450 people, including about 120 specialist model builders who work on ongoing sections.
- The Braun brothers say most profits are reinvested into the attraction, they hold a €6 million emergency reserve and plan further large builds such as the Atacama and Caribbean sections that will be installed while the site remains open.
