Wegberg-Wildenrath Test and Validation Centre

The Wegberg-Wildenrath Test and Validation Centre is a railway test centre owned by Siemens near Wildenrath in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

The centre is located on the site of the former RAF Wildenrath British military airfield. After the airfield closed in 1992, it was taken over by Siemens who opened the test and validation centre in June 1997. It had five tracks over 35 hectares . By 2007, the railway test tracks had taken over considerable areas of the airfield, with all but the western threshold and overrun of the runway obliterated. The north-east dispersal is completely taken over by sidings, workshops and loops. Of the southern dispersals, the central and eastern are bisected by the main railway oval test track.
