Germany has many museums with automobile-related exhibits and collections. However, for many car enthusiasts the official works museums are the most enjoyable. At these car museums, the focus is usually only on one manufacturer, marque, or brand and the aim to show the best cars top German automobile makers have produced in the past century and a bit. In recent years, German car manufacturers have invested in brand new, glitzy museums at their respective head offices. In Stuttgart, it is possible to visit the Mercedes Benz and Porsche museums, in Munich the BMW Museum, in Ingolstadt the Audi Mobile Museum, and in Wolfsburg the Volkswagen Zeithaus Museum.

Vintage and Historic Cars in the Mercedes Benz Museum, Stuttgart-Untertürkheim

The large Mercedes Benz Museum is just outside Daimler’s main plant in Stuttgart-Untertürkheim. On display is a wide range of Mercedes Benz cars from the first motor car produced in 1886 to the present. (The first car at this museum is a copy – the original 1886 Benz is in the German Museum in Munich.) Many luxurious cars on display were once owned by international statesmen and other famous people.

  • The Mercedes Benz Museum is open Tuesday to Sunday from 9 am to 6 pm. Admission is €8.

Sports and Racing Cars in the Porsche Museum, Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen

A new Porsche Museum opened in 2009 in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen. The new museum is in a futuristic building that replaced the old, cramped museum that has become a bit of an embarrassment for a marque as glamorous as Porsche. On display are a range of sports and racing cars – almost all cars here are in working order and some are still used for historic races and events.
