Inscription.  German:
Der hier ausgestellte Dampfkran ist einer der letzten Dampfkräne der ehemaligen Deutschen Bundesbahn. Nach Kriegsende wurden viele dieser Kräne für die Aufräumarbeiten gefertigt. Das Fahrgestell besteht aus einem alten Eisenbahngeschütz. Am „Haken" befindet sich eine Dampfspeicherlok, die damals für Rangierarbeiten in einem Industriebetrieb genutzt wurde.

English:
The steam crane exhibited here is one of the last steam cranes of the former „German Federal Railways". After the war, many of these cranes were made for the Cleanup work. The chassis consists of an old railway gun. At the „hook" there is a steam-storage-locomotive, which was used for maneuvering.
