Automuseum Nettelstedt

Automuseum Nettelstedt, Automotive museum in Nettelstedt, Germany

Automuseum Nettelstedt was a private car collection housed in rented commercial halls on Rietkampstraße in Nettelstedt, now part of Lübbecke. It opened in the late 1960s and closed on 5 November 1972. Around 1970 it held almost one hundred automobiles, with an emphasis on early motorisation and supercharged and Bugatti cars.

Uwe Hucke and his wife Monika opened the museum in Nettelstedt in 1968, though one source dates it to 1958 under director Erwin Tragatsch. In 1970 Tragatsch was named director, followed in 1971 by Hans-Wolf Schneider. The museum closed on 5 November 1972 because the landlord wanted the rented halls for industrial use; Hucke and Willy Helmerding then built its successor in Bad Oeynhausen, opened 21 April 1973.

The museum became a meeting point for Bugatti owners: under Uwe Hucke's direction, brand gatherings turned Nettelstedt into what was called the "Mecca of many Bugattists", not only German ones. The collection also included a 1914 Bugatti, two Type 44 and a Type 57 cabriolet.

The museum closed on 5 November 1972 after the landlord reclaimed the rented commercial halls for industrial use from 1973. Its successor, the Motor Technica Museum, opened on 21 April 1973 at Weserstraße 142 in Bad Oeynhausen, right by the motorway exit. In 1970 the Nettelstedt site stood on Rietkampstraße, marked on its postcards as "an der B 65".

From 1970 the museum's showpiece was a 1926 Maybach W 5 Pullman limousine, upgraded in 1928 to W 5 SG. It is probably the oldest surviving Maybach and originally belonged to the personal physician of singer Enrico Caruso in Bad Ems.
