Automobile Museum in Dortmund

Automobile Museum in Dortmund, Automobile museum in Dortmund, Germany.

The Automobile Museum in Dortmund displays a diverse collection of sports cars and classic vehicles from manufacturers like Ferrari and Jaguar. The cars are arranged in themed sections that show different eras and types of automobiles.

Adolf Edler von Graeve, a long-time collector of old cars, opened the museum on 1 May 1999 in the Wellinghofen district of Dortmund; his daughter Barbara runs it. It marked its tenth anniversary in 2009 with an open day. Since 31 December 2022 it has been closed for fire-safety reasons, and in September 2025 the building was reported to be available for rent.

The museum grew from Adolf Edler von Graeve's private collection, opened on 1 May 1999 in Wellinghofen and run with his daughter Barbara. Most vehicles belong to the von Graeve family, others are loans, and a restaurant occupies the same building. A 2004 list records a Jaguar Mark I formerly owned by actor Heinz Rühmann.

The museum has been closed since 31 December 2022 for fire-safety reasons, and in September 2025 the building was advertised for rent, so check its status before travelling. Opening hours had already been reduced: from 2020 it opened only at weekends, and during the Covid-19 pandemic only by appointment. The museum is in the Wellinghofen district of Dortmund, and a restaurant occupies the same building.

The silver emblem on the hood of the small red-and-cream car reads "Lotta". The collection also holds a Jaguar Mark I once owned by actor Heinz Rühmann, and a 1934 Mercedes-Benz Nürburg. Most vehicles belong to the von Graeve family; others are loans.
