The Naumburg (Saale) tramway (German: Straßenbahn Naumburg (Saale)) is a tramline forming part of the public transport system in Naumburg (Saale), a city in the federal state of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. At only 2.5 km (1.6 mi) long, it is the smallest urban tramway in Germany, and one of the smallest in Europe.
History
The tramway opened for service in 1882.
Tram operation was suspended on 19 August 1991 because of poor track condition. In 1994, the tramway was restored for occasional festival service, and operation of the tramway was assumed by Naumburger Straßenbahn.
In 2007, daily service on the tramline was restored.
As of November 2014, an official groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of an extension of the tramline from Vogelwiese to Salztor was held.
