Support Us

We design and build our locomotive ourselves. As a student project, we rely on partners to do so. We particularly need support with materials, manufacturing and taking part in the Railway Challenge. Here you can find out how you can help TUBahn and what we offer in return.

How you can support us

Funding

Financial support goes directly into materials, components, tools and taking part in the competition.

Materials

Steel, aluminium, electronics, tools or drive components: donations in kind help us just as much as money.

Manufacturing

Laser cutting, milling, welding or painting: there are many parts we cannot make ourselves.

Expertise

An outside view on design, electronics or safety helps us catch mistakes early.

What we offer our supporters

  • Acknowledgement on the locomotive and on this website
  • Visibility at the Railway Challenge, at trade fairs and on our social media channels
  • Contact with motivated students from many disciplines, for internships, theses or student jobs

Donation or sponsorship?

Donation

You support us with money or in kind. As a registered non-profit association, we issue a donation receipt (Zuwendungsbestätigung) under German tax law. We thank you by name on the locomotive and with your logo on this page.

Sponsorship

We sign a contract and agree on an advertising service in return for your support with money or in kind. This can include, for example, your logo on our locomotive and a post on our social media channels. For companies, this is usually deductible as a business expense.

Which option suits you best is something we are happy to discuss in person.

Interested?
