Porsche Museum Gmünd

Porsche Museum Gmünd houses a collection of vehicles including the legendary Porsche 356, an amphibious hunting vehicle from 1956, and various racing cars. The exhibition displays the range of early Porsche production at this location.

After World War II, this location became the birthplace of the Porsche automobile brand from 1944 onward, where the first vehicles bearing this name were created. Production continued here until 1950 before moving to other sites.

The museum reflects how Porsche manufacturing shaped automotive industry in Austria and the role this town played in that story. Visitors can observe how craftsmanship and engineering merged in the early models on display.

The museum is open daily from May through October, with hours varying by season. Visitors with a KärntenCard receive free entry and can explore the collection without additional charges.

The collection houses the first and only police Porsche 911 in Austria, maintained by the Pfeifhofer family as part of their private exhibition. This unusual vehicle shows how the brand reached unexpected areas of use.
