The collection started in the late 1960s and includes royal carriages such as a Spanish travel coach from 1730 and Queen Alexandra's Gala Landauer from 1840. These rare pieces document the wealth and elegance of European nobility.
The collection shows transportation methods from the 18th to early 20th century, with city luxury carriages and sports cars around 1900 particularly standing out. Visitors can see how wealthy people traveled and presented themselves during this period.
Visits require advance appointment and are arranged through Mr. Hamacher as the contact person. The museum is located on Angelstrasse and should be contacted in advance to schedule a suitable time.
The museum maintains an in-house workshop where carriages are restored using traditional methods. Visitors can watch craftspeople use historical techniques to bring vintage vehicles back to their original condition.
