Unimog-Museum, Transport museum in Kuppenheim, Germany.
The Unimog-Museum houses a collection of Mercedes-Benz utility vehicles developed over multiple decades for different working purposes. The exhibition displays models used in agriculture, road maintenance, and rescue operations, alongside the technical innovations that emerged across the years.
The vehicle line originated in the 1940s in response to the need for flexible utility vehicles in Germany. Since then it evolved into a versatile machine used in numerous fields and countries for very different tasks.
The place tells the story of how these vehicles became essential tools for farmers and tradespeople across Europe, changing the way rural work was done. Exhibitions show the practical role these machines played in everyday farming and construction life.
The museum sits on Bundesstraße 462 at the Schloss Rotenfels exit, on the Kuppenheim-Oberndorf side, next to the grounds of Schloss Rotenfels in Gaggenau's Bad Rotenfels district. It is the starting point of the Murgleiter long-distance hiking trail. A museum shop, a restaurant and a tourist information office for the Murgtal region are on site.
The oldest vehicle in the collection is the Unimog U6, the sixth prototype, finished in August 1948 and shown at an agricultural exhibition. It has a 1,697 cc four-cylinder diesel engine producing 25 hp, was rediscovered in 1989, restored, and has been in the museum since 2008.
