Opening of the National Car Museum - The Loh Collection

One of the most exciting car collections in the world is opening to the public. On July 23, 2023, the “National Car Museum The Loh Collection” will open in Dietzhölztal-Ewersbach with around 150 spectacular vehicles from 1886 to today.

The exhibition shows numerous individual pieces, prototypes and highlights from automotive history, including Michael Schumacher’s first world champion Ferrari, US President John F. Kennedy’s Lincoln Continental and the record-breaking Maybach Exelero, which was only built once.

There are also numerous icons of automotive history – from the Bugatti Type 57 Atalante to the Lamborghini Miura SV to the Mercedes CLK GTR – as well as a wide range of racing vehicles – from endurance, DTM and NASCAR races to Formula 1 and Formula E. The new museum is located in the heart of Germany in the middle of the city quadrangle of Cologne, Dortmund, Kassel and Frankfurt. It can be easily reached via the Sauerland line A 45.

Special exhibition “100 years of 24h Le Mans”

In addition to the extensive permanent exhibition, an integral part of the National Auto Museum are seasonally changing special exhibitions with specific focuses. It starts with the exhibition “100 Years of the 24 Hours of Le Mans – the Myth, the Heroes, the Cars”. A spectacular show that has never been seen in Germany before.

In the anniversary year of what is probably the most famous endurance race in the world, the eventful development of the racing classic can be experienced in more than 20 original Le Mans racing cars since 1928. These include famous classics such as an Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato or a Porsche 917 K, but also the winning car from 2004, an Audi R8. Prof. Dr. Loh: “It is particularly important to us to tell the exciting stories behind the vehicles, teams and drivers. That is what we mean by fascination on wheels.”
