Automuseum Wolfegg, Automobile museum in Wolfegg, Germany
Automuseum Wolfegg opened in 2017 in two historic annex buildings of Wolfegg Castle in Upper Swabia, rented from the princely Waldburg-Wolfegg family. Its roughly 3000 square metres hold about 80 cars and 40 motorcycles, mopeds and scooters, mostly from the 1960s to 1980s, plus everyday objects of the period. The oldest car is a 1918 Benz & Cie, the oldest motorised vehicle a 1915 Triumph H.
The museum opened in 2017 after the automobile museum of Fritz B. Busch was sold and cleared. Nicolas Flosbach refitted and reopened it between January and April 2017, renting two annex buildings of Wolfegg Castle from the princely family of Waldburg, Wolfegg and Waldsee. Seven cars from Busch's old collection came along as loans.
The exhibition shows vehicles that shaped daily life in Germany over several decades. The collection reveals how people got around and what technologies were part of their everyday routines.
The museum occupies two historic annex buildings of Wolfegg Castle, with exhibits on two levels; Museum II's upper floor holds the local-history section. The 34-metre slotcar track run by a club founded in 2018 sits inside the exhibition rooms. Cars are mostly loans, so individual vehicles change; the oldest car is a 1918 Benz & Cie.
The 17 single-wheel trailers were assembled by owner Karlheinz Flach from the early 1980s and shown for years as the "Rollendes Einradanhänger Museum" at trade fairs and in shopping arcades. Only trailers built for cars, trucks, buses and tanks are included; among them are camping cabinets and tables, a wood-gas unit and a one-off folding sail- and motorboat.
