Plan your visit ↗

Vehicles with a function

Compare a Trabant for everyday use with a police or army vehicle. Shape, equipment and use show how the same technical system took on different roles in society.

Daily life up close

Tableware, electronics and clothing make the collection broader than automotive history. See which traces of use support personal stories and which explanations still depend on the collector.

A private presentation

The selection was built up by the owners and has no independently confirmed catalogue. So ask about provenance, dating and restoration before you read a label as the full context.

Before you go

Opening hours unknown. Only old secondary references to appointments and occasional open days are available. Ask the museum before you set off whether and when you can come.
