Motorradmuseum Ibbenbüren, Motorcycle museum in Ibbenbüren, Germany.
The Motorradmuseum Ibbenbüren is a museum in a former village school that displays around 170 motorized two-wheeled vehicles. The collection ranges from early bicycles with auxiliary engines to modern motorcycles, each with detailed information panels covering production years and technical specifications.
The museum was established in 1978 by Robert Stockmann with a focus on collecting pre-World War II motorcycles. Early manufacturers like Mars, Diehl, Stock, and Wanderer are represented, reflecting the significant development period of motorcycle engineering during that era.
The collection showcases German motorcycle manufacturers like Adler, BMW, DKW, Imme, Hercules, Horex, Kreidler, Maico, MZ, NSU, Victoria, and Zündapp. These brands shaped the country's two-wheeled vehicle industry and remain important to local industrial heritage.
The museum is located at Markweg 26 in Ibbenbüren and provides detailed information panels for each vehicle. Visitors can take time reading about technical details and following the evolution of motorcycle design through the collection.
The museum houses the Münch Mammut 1200 TTS, one of the heaviest motorcycles ever manufactured in Germany. This unusual machine represents an extreme direction in motorcycle design that prioritized power and size over lightness.
