Oldtimer Museum Rügen, Transportation museum in Binz, Germany.
Oldtimer Museum Rügen is a transportation museum in Binz that displays vintage cars, locomotives, and machinery from different eras. The collection includes more than 80 vehicles that trace the history of how people and goods moved over time.
The museum occupies a protected building from the 1930s, originally constructed as a leisure facility during the Nazi era. The site was later repurposed and now preserves the history of transportation technology.
The collection reflects how cars developed differently in East and West Germany, showing the design choices and engineering approaches of each tradition. Walking through, you notice how political division shaped what people drove and how vehicles were made.
Plan your visit between April and October when the museum is open daily and you can explore at your own pace. Allow several hours to view the vehicles and read about their backgrounds without feeling rushed.
Among the exhibits is a Volvo 264 TE that once served as the official state car of East Germany. This vehicle represents a rarely seen piece of political history that connects you directly to a specific moment in German life.
